Summary: The King and I
Comment: I have always loved this movie and movies that are similar. I was very pleased that you offered it to be purchased. Deborah Kerr and Yul Brunner cannot be outdone in this. Henry Winkler: we knew him as "The Fonz." Kids today know him as the creator of the delightful and dyslexic Hank Zipzer.(pop quiz)(Interview): An article from: Instructor (1990)

Summary: The King and I
Comment: One of the most wonderful movies made. Yul Brennen is a dashing actor and Debra Kerr was wonderful. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves romance.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: splendid american opera
Comment: I was a bit uneasy watching this version as the editing for the square screen makes the film oddly unfamiliar. the peculiar view reminds you how much the medium of wide screen filmmaking was intelligently used.
That quibble aside, this is loaded with pageantry-Aida without the elephants-and some musical turns that have passed into the American repertoire as classics: Shall We Dance, Whistle A Happy Tune and Hello, Young Lovers.
Yul Brenner will be remembered forever for his physical mastery of the role and for virtually inventing the now universally accepted idea that bald is handsomer than hairy. Deborah Kerr struck the right balance between bereaved and confident.
Still, it's much better to get the wide-screen version and play it on the biggest monitor you can find.

Summary: The King And I
Comment: Great movie, should have won the Best Picture award in 1956. Great acting by Brynner, Kerr, and Moreno. Yul won the Best Actor award in 1956. Great sets, costumes, et cetera, et cetera. A "Must-See" movie for all.

Summary: GREAT movie
Comment: My family and I LOVE this movie. I personally think this is one of Yule Brenner's best. The kids even get into the singing and dancing.
