Member Rating: More serious and less colorful than The King And I, Anna And The King Of Siam is still a well-crafted and elaborate spectacle. Leonowens (Irene Dunne) and her son travel to the tiny kingdom of Siam, where she has been hired to teach Western ways and culture to the multitudes of children sired by the King (Rex Harrison). All too soon, however, the King and Anna clash over the differences in their ways and cultures; Anna is also drawn into a palace romance between the concubine, Tuptim...

This book was written by Anna Leonowens as a teacher in Siam where she spent five and a half years teaching English, western customs and ettiquette to the royal children and the entire family of King Mongkut of Siam during the 19th century.

English schoolteacher Anna Leonowens has traveled to Siam to educate the fifty-eight children of King Monkut. If she has preconceived notions about the East, the King has similar notions about the West. But amid the danger of growing political unrest, their respect for each other slowly turns into something more.

Eighty years after...

Anna and the King is the third film to chronicle the adventures of British governess Anna Leonowens in 19th-century Siam, and it is far and away the most picturesque. Gorgeous location photography lends verisimilitude to the dreamily exotic setting and by-now-familiar story. Jodie Foster makes a placidly beautiful yet passionate Anna, who accepts the job of teaching the 58 children sired by Siam's King Mongkut (Hong Kong action star Chow Yun-Fat) and immediately finds herself locked in a battle of...
