I first saw The King and I when I was young on our black & white TV. Years later, I had the wonderful experience of seeing Yul Brynner on the Broadway stage in the 1980's. It was one of the most wonderful moments of my life. I will say that the play is very, very long. However, to see Brynner on the stage was a dream come true. I also had the honor to have gotten his autograph on the album that I got that night. It's framed and is one of my most favorite possessions. Rodgers & Hammerstein's music is wonderful still.

I gave this movie 5stars. However the viewer should be warned that this is a chopped up version of the original ie songs and scenes have been removed.I guess fox studios would rather cater to adhd type people than to lovers of classic movies in original form

I loved this movie so much it is utterly amazing in every way the costumes, the actors and actresses, the songs. For goodness sake for me it is close to one of the greatest movies of all time. If you have the oppertunity to watch it watch it thats all I have to say
