Movie Reviews

Film Freak Central - 10/10 by Walter ChawA chronicle of colonialism that poses itself as an easy-to-dismiss artifact, yet reveals itself to be an enduring statement about why people can't get along.
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Christopher NullThe popular pick for the best Rodgers and Hammerstein musical is probably The Sound of Music, but I'm throwing in for The King and I.
New York Times - 10/10 by Bosley CrowtherEvery bit of the humor and vibrant humanity that flowed through the tender story of the English school-teacher and the quizzical king is richly preserved in the screen play that Ernest Lehman has prepared.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffAll the ingredients that made Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King and I a memorable stage experience have been faithfully transferred to the screen.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Tom ShalesA typically overproduced 1956 Fox film of the Rodgers and Hammerstein hit, with Yul Brynner as the king and Deborah Kerr as the British schoolteacher who comes to Siam to educate Brynner's army of children. Too long at 133 minutes, but the score is swell.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Heather BoernerA boisterous, big-costumed classic musical.
Las Vegas Review-Journal - 6/10 by Carol ClingClassic performances, classic score, the best Rodgers & Hammerstein screen adaptation.
Time Out - 5/10 by Geoff AndrewPoor songs (Hello Young Lovers, Getting to Know You), fair choreography, poor script, nice photography.
User Review - 10/10 by Harmonic SOMG I think this movie is extremely romantic. Amazing that it's a true story
User Review - 10/10 by Jonathan MOne of the first films I ever saw - Brilliant
