The King and I
More than your eyes have ever seen… More than your heart has ever known!
Directed by Walter Lang
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A lavish musical romance about cultural clash and mutual respect between a widowed English governess and an autocratic Siamese king, built on spectacle, warmth, and the transformative power of education and understanding.
Widowed Welsh mother Anna Leonowens becomes a governess and English tutor to the wives and many children of the stubborn King Mongkut of Siam. Anna and the King have a clash of personalities as she works to teach the royal family about the English language, customs and etiquette, and rushes to prepare a party for a group of European diplomats who must change their opinions about the King.
