Friday movie pick
by chuckofish
Last night we watched The King and I (1956) because it was on TCM. Although I have seen it many times, it did not disappoint!
It is on my Top Ten Best Movie Musical List–indeed, probably my Top Five. Yul Brynner is stupendous and Deborah Kerr holds up her end admirably. The Siamese rendition of Uncle Tom’s Cabin–“The Small House of Uncle Thomas” ballet sequence–is wonderful. The sets, the costumes–wow. It won Oscars for Bests Actor, Best Art Direction, Best Costumes, Best Sound, and Best Music, Scoring of a Musical.
It is a movie that has it all. And by that I mean, mostly Yul Brynner.
If you are in need of a little escape from the madness, watch The King and I (1956). You’ll be glad you did.
Have a good weekend!

I think I will!
Yul is the best! And Mr. Smith is incredibly sweet.
To be fair, Mr. Smith did appear fascinated by parts of the movie!
