Great story and good production overcome its age. Glad to have found it again.

Bought it for the kids and they loved it
This musical has the most beautiful music and couple that with the acting talents of Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr it becomes a winner. Set in Siam a wonderful meeting of two opposite cultures, the English and the Siamese (I think it is called Burma now). The scenery and costuming is superb!
This movie is a classic. I remember listening to my Dad's soundtrack on LP when I was a kid and when I finally saw the movie on TV for the first time it put life into all the tunes I had swimming around in my head. The bright colours and glamorous costumes are a feast for the eyes, my favourite song “Shall we dance” always makes me imagine dancers spinning around the room in a huge puffy hoop skirts.
