Lush, beautifully shot, but quite draggy.

Nothing special, nothing particularly heartwarming.

The third major screen version of the story, has much to recommend it.

Intense, mature version of The King and I.

Close, but no cigar.

It is pleasant, occasionally amusing -- and often dull.

Handsome and well-appointed ... but still one of the most boring films in recent memory.

A deliberate retelling of 'The King and I' without the musical interludes. 'Anna and the King' is a slow, but ultimately rewarding period drama.
