Torrent description

Description
Rogers and Hammerstein\'s Broadway musical, adapted from Margaret Landon\'s
fact-based novel and the 1946 film ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM, makes a
spectacularly successful move to the silver screen in the Yul Brynner tour de
force THE KING AND I. Brynner, reprising the role he\'d polished to perfection
on stage, plays the blustering, headstrong Siamese potentate who meets his
match in the form of Anna Leonowens (Deborah Kerr), the prim and proper
English widow he\'s hired to oversee the rearing of his huge, unruly flock of
children. Director Walter Lang (TIN PAN ALLEY) presents THE KING AND I,
one of the most popular musicals in cinema history, as a dizzyingly bountiful
Technicolor feast. Kerr (aided during songs by the overdubbed voice of Marni
Nixon) contributes a dynamic performance that is every bit the equal of Brynner\'s
transcendent, career-defining turn, for which he won an Academy Award.
The delightful score, which also garnered an Oscar, includes three perennial
favorite show tunes: \'I Whistle a Happy Tune\', \'Getting to Know You\', and \'Shall
We Dance\'.
