Rita Moreno
The King and I
Musicalen blev filmatiseret i 1956 med Brynner i sin nye rolle over for Deborah Kerr. Filmen vandt fem Oscars og blev nomineret til yderligere fire Oscars. Brynner vandt en Oscar som bedste skuespiller for sin rolle, og Kerr blev nomineret som bedste skuespillerinde. Sharaff vandt for bedste kostumedesign. Filmen blev instrueret af Walter Lang (som også blev nomineret til en Oscar) og koreograferet af Robbins. Marni Nixon dubbede Anna's sangstemme, og Rita Moreno spillede Tuptim. Saunders som Thiang, Adiarte som Chulalongkorn og Benson som Kralahome genoptog deres roller på scenen, ligesom danserne Yuriko og de Lappe. Alan Mowbray optrådte i den nye rolle som den britiske ambassadør, mens Sir Edward Ramsey (degraderet til ambassadørens assistent) blev spillet af Geoffrey Toone. Filmens manuskript var tro mod teaterversionen, selv om der blev skåret nogle få sange fra; anmeldelserne var begejstrede. Thomas Hischak skriver i sin The Rodgers and Hammerstein Encyclopedia: "Der er almindelig enighed om, at [filmen] er den bedste filmatisering af en R & H-musical". Thailands myndigheder fandt filmen krænkende for deres monarki og forbød både film og musical i 1956.

The musical was filmed in 1956 with Brynner re-creating his role opposite Deborah Kerr. The film won five Academy Awards and was nominated for four more. Brynner won an Oscar as Best Actor for his portrayal, and Kerr was nominated as Best Actress. Sharaff won for best costume design. The film was directed by Walter Lang (who was also nominated for an Oscar) and choreographed by Robbins. Marni Nixon dubbed the singing voice of Anna, and Rita Moreno played Tuptim. Saunders as Thiang, Adiarte as Chulalongkorn and Benson as the Kralahome reprised their stage roles, as did dancers Yuriko and de Lappe. Alan Mowbray appeared in the new role of the British Ambassador, while Sir Edward Ramsey (demoted to the Ambassador's aide) was played by Geoffrey Toone. The movie's script was faithful to the stage version, although it cut a few songs; reviews were enthusiastic. Thomas Hischak, in his The Rodgers and Hammerstein Encyclopedia, states: "It is generally agreed that the [movie] is the finest film adaptation of any R & H musical". Thai officials judged the film offensive to their monarchy and banned both film and musical in 1956.
