This musical masterpiece tells the true story of English woman Anna Leonowens (Deborah Kerr), who comes to Siam as a teacher to the royal court in the 1860s and finds herself at odds with the stubborn monarch (Yul Brynner). Brynner's Academy Award winning performance and the unforgettable Rogers and Hammerstein score, including the songs "Hello Young Lovers", "Shall We Dance?" and "Getting to Know You" give this film its enduring charm.
