Product Description

This "magnificent spectacle" with "matchless pageantry" and "frequent moments of high comedy," (Hollywood Reporter) stars Rex Harrison as the King of Siam and Irene Dunne as Anna, the charming, strong-willed English widow who teaches him how to live in a modern world. Accompanied by her son, Anna Owens arrives in Siam to educate the king's harem and his sixty-seven children. She soon discovers there are many obstacles to overcome and it is only through her ingenuity, wit and dedication that she is able to continue her work. Slowly, she sees the effect of her influence on the court, but it is not until the stubborn king realizes he need's Ana's wisdom and guidance that her difficult mission is a success.

Amazon.com

The story of British teacher Anna Leonowens and her sojourn to the court of 19th century Siam has proved irresistible to many generations--as book, movie, or Broadway show. Arguably the most beloved version of the story is the 1946 Fox film Anna and the King of Siam, an elegant and bittersweet drama. Irene Dunne plays the widow Anna, who arrives in Siam in 1862 with her young son in tow. Her ostensible job, to teach the many children of the polygamous King (Rex Harrison, in his first Hollywood picture), soon broadens into an unofficial court advisor. The most amusing sequences in the first half of the picture are the battles of manners between feisty Anna and the intellectually curious but tradition-bound king--a battle that engenders great mutual respect. John Farrow directed, with his customary sympathy for the female heroine and eye for handsome spaces (the film won Oscars for art direction and Arthur Miller's cinematography). The main Asian characters are played by white actors, with Lee J. Cobb especially startling as the prime minister. The affecting story leaves no doubt to why Rodgers and Hammerstein saw the future musical The King and I in the material, and indeed you may find yourself humming "Getting to Know You" or "Something Wonderful" beneath certain scenes. It was remade in 1999 with Jodie Foster as Anna and the King, with more cultural correctness but less charm. --Robert Horton

An excellet adaptation of the book, but is not the musical

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

This was an excellent adaptation of the book but is not the later musical version. This movie predates and perhaps inspired the creation of that musical. This movie is very enjoyable once you accept Rex Harrison as the King of Siam. I think he does a remarkable job with the part. This movie shows many areas where cultures clashed between the very traditional English school teacher and the very traditional royal court of Siam.

This should be added to Black History Month, perhaps with some research into the effect this had on bringing African Americans to the Silver Screen/Hollywood.

A film of historical worth

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

This film of Anna and the King of Siam follows the plot of the original book by Margaret Landon more closely than the King and I and the later film of Anna and the King, and the portrayal of King Mongkut by Rex Harrison is closer to what the real king looked like and the character of the king as shown in the book. Historically, as Margaret Langdon writes, the story is"seventy-five per cent fact, and twenty-five per cent fiction based on fact." Anna Leonowens was a real person and her husband's grave can be seen in the old cemetery in Penang. Allowing for the romanticizing and dramatizing, it is a very entertaining film.

VASTLY SUPERIOR TO THE MUSICAL

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

Much as I love Deborah Kerr, Irene Dunne makes the role her own. And as for comparing Yul Brynner with Rex Harrison, it would be like comparing a Western gunslinger with a British linguistics professor.

Anna and the King of Siam

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

I especally wanted to buy this movie, since it was the straight dramatic forerunner to The King and I. Furthermore, I lived in Thailand for 30 years, where the name of Anna Leonowens is held in the utmost esteem. Nevertheless, those Hollywood fatheads decided to change it to plain Owens, for their customary nonsensical reasons.

That's not all they did wrong. In the course of the film, the heroine's (Anna's, that is) young son gets killed in an accident. To me, that is virtual heresy. In real life, he grew up and founded a business enterprise which still thrives today. It was actually a professional client of mine. This tinseltown tendency to fiddle around with history really turns me off.

Still, the film was well acted and directed, pretty much following the story line of The King and I decades later. Irene Dunne and Rex Harrison did their normally excellent jobs in the two lead roles. However, the most unforgettable performance was turned in by Lee J. Cobb, as the country's gruff but sensitive Prime Minister.

In summary, therefore, despite the stupidity evidenced by the screenwriter and the producers, this movie is recommended as a fitting supplement to the Yul Brynner/Deborah Kerr musical version of more recent vintage.

Quality DVD, Great Film

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 27, 2021

Quality DVD for a classic movie - this is the original version of The King and I, and is much more emotionally investing, somewhat dark, telling of the story.

Great movie. I enjoyed it. I'm also a fan of the Yul Brinner version.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

Great movie! I'm a long time fan of the Yul Brinner version. This version presents a better storyline. The Yul Brinner movie is a feel good movie if you enjoy musicals. Both are certainly simi!at but different enough to stand on their own.

An interesting enjoyable film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

I always loved The King and I film with Yul Brynner then years later watched the version with Chow Yun- fat. The whole story is fascinating so I bought this version with Rex Harrison. I had read some reviews which said he was mis cast but I enjoyed it. The films led me to reading about the real Anna. What a fascinating person she was.

OK, it's an old film, so it's in Black and White. The story is OK, and it's well acted. I don't think I will watch it very often, but it's nice to know i've got it. I will recommend it.
