Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic musical the King and I special edition is a great buy and one I would highly recommend to any one. This is one of the great Hollywood musicals from that period of time when they where making such great films like this. The story is of a English governess Anna Owens played by the great Debera Karr who has gone to Siam to be the governess to the children of the King (played by the one and only Yul Brynner . There is the love story of the foreign princess who has been sent to the King as an other wife and her bid for freedom with the man she loves. This film has some great music and songs and the sets are realy eye catching. Its a must if you have not ever seen it and if you have already seen this film then you will know what I am saying when I say you have to have this in your collection. A film for all the family and once you have seen it you will want to watch it again and again.
