Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Show Your Children This Movie! Highly Recommended Comment: They don't make movies like the "The King and I" anymore. This movie is one of the classics that we sit down with our kids and watch once a year or so.
The plot is a solid telling of extream culture clash, pride, and love... all wrapped up the some of the best music and dancing ever put on film ("Shall We Dance" is one of the most memorable things I have ever seen). The acting is top rate and the sets are fantastic.
Don't miss this one and share it with your kids, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Customer Rating: Summary: The King and I..a classic! Comment: I have loved "The King and I" ever since I was a young girl and my mother took me to see it in the movies. This DVD is wonderful, although some of the personal details about Yul Brynner seem in error, according to the book his son wrote shortly after his death. He never had a lung removed and he was born in 1920, not 1915, but other than that the commentary is great and the movie itself is timeless.
I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who loves this musical, all musicals, Yul Brynner or all of the above!
Customer Rating: Summary: A Classic Favorite Comment: This has to be my most favorite musical of all time.
This movie has everything... etc., etc., etc.!!! Customer Rating: Summary: loved it Comment: 50'th anniversary DVD of The King and I
Wonderful-- they don't make like this anymore, too bad Customer Rating: Summary: The King and I Comment: I have always loved this movie and movies that are similar. I was very pleased that you offered it to be purchased. Deborah Kerr and Yul Brunner cannot be outdone in this. Henry Winkler: we knew him as "The Fonz." Kids today know him as the creator of the delightful and dyslexic Hank Zipzer.(pop quiz)(Interview): An article from: Instructor (1990)
