Deborah Kerr runs around in huge hoop skirts while Yul Brynner wears no shoes. And people wonder why this movie is still banned in Thailand. Actually this is a musical (and pretty shallow version) of a diary entitled `Anna and the King.' The Thais feel that it makes the king look foolish and backward but of course they just don't understand that musicals like this make everybody look foolish and backward. If you like musicals you'll love it. If you don't like musicals you'll REALLY hate it. True to form for the fifties they managed to make this movie using nobody who was actually from Thailand.
