Movie Reviews of The King and I (50th Anniversary Edition)
Movie Review: Classic musical film
Summary: 5 Stars
Film and music buffs will enjoy this classic musical with Brenner. The digital quality of the CD made this sit at home film experience the best.Movie Review: One Of The Greatest Movie Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
A favorite of mine. The detailing of the time period is everything I thought it would be. I love Yule Brenner & Deborah Kerr. I love the music the costumes are unbelieveable. I find myself wanting to get up and dance. If I could rate it more then 5 stars I would. Movie Review: "Shall We Dance?"
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie's set is stunning and magnificent! Deborah Kerr is perfect as Anna Leonowens, an English schoolteacher, who comes to Siam with her son, Louis, to be the schoolteacher to the royal princes and princessess. Her dresses are extremely lavish! I don't know how she gets around with those huge hoop skirts! Yul Brynner is also perfect as the King of Siam who wants to be "scientifically modern" "Etc.,etc.,etc..." Anna and the King have two totally different points of view and he has a hard time understanding her wish to have the small brick residence outside of the palace that she was promised.
Like most Oscar Hammerstein and Richard Rodgers musicals it deals with two stories in one: Anna and the King; and a servant Tuptim and the man she loves.
The absolutely best scene in the whole movie is the incredible "Shall We Dance?" number Anna does with the King in his gold ballroom! It also has some world-famous songs "Getting To Know You" and "I Whistle a Happy Tune."
This is a great family movie!
Movie Review: DVD- The King and I
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite muscials of all time. The music and the singing is specatular. The history of what was going on is a little fuzzy, but if you've seen Anna and the King it clears it right up. It's worth it just to see the sexy Yul Brynner. Movie Review: defective production
Summary: 1 Stars
The movie itself--which I remember from childhood--is a masterpiece. However, sadly it was not viewable on this edition. TWO DVD packets from Amazon (a replacement was sent to me after the first one did not work, but that, too, didn't work), didn't work on multiple DVD players which had no problem playing plenty of other films before or after.
No explanation for compatibility (or lack thereof) was found.
In the first packet, niether DVD worked (the feature film, and the extras). In the second packet, the feature film still did not work (it wasn't even recognized by the DVD player) but the extras did. Not that it helped much.
I would beware of this particular edition and stick with older ones, if you can find them. At least they work.
