      All the ingredients that made Rodgers & Hammersteins The King and I a memorable stage experience have been faithfully transferred to the screen. ( Read More )
    • Dave Kehr

      A typically overproduced 1956 Fox film of the Rodgers and Hammerstein hit, with Yul Brynner as the king (a part he would play for 25 years on the stage) and Deborah Kerr (dubbed) as the British schoolteacher who comes to Siam to educate Brynners army of children. ( Read More )

    • Emanuel Levy

      Walter Langs screen version is too theatrical but the score by Rodgers and Hammerstein is glorious and the acting by Yul Brynner in his most iconic role and Deborah Kerr is superb, overcoming Marnie Nixons colorless voice. ( Read More )
