The King and I (1999)

One Of The Greatest Movie Ever
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.

"Shall We Dance?"
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!
