Title: A great Musical
Review: The King and I is one of Rogers and Hammerstein's greatest musicals. It is the musical version of "Anna and the King". The cinematography and scenery greatly captures the beauty and mystery of 19th century Siam. The story centers around the story of Anna Leowens who is hired to be the governess to the Kings adorable children. There is abattle of wills right from the begining between Anna and the King. Anna begins to fall in love with the children. She expresses this love with the song "Getting to know you". Anna brings in her Western Ideals and begins to have an effect on the king. One dramatic scene is when he tries to whip a runaway slave girl (Tuptim). Because of Anna's influence he can not do it. One of the best scenes is when Anna teaches the King to dance. This has to be the greatest dance sequence ever recorded on film (even better than Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers in "Top Hat").
