Anna and the King / Anna and the King of Siam / The King & I

Filmed in in 1946 with a questionable pick for the King of Siam - Harrison (My Fair Lady). Dunne (Love Affair) was the perfect choice to play the British widow though in my opinion. She wasn't English, but she was an amazing actress. All in all, I say: SEE IT maybe after you see the second one.

Filmed in 1956, this is the BEST version of this story - my favorite. Brynner (Westworld) and Kerr (An Affair to Remember). She was actually from Scotland, but lived most of her life in England. This music, costumes, and directing (Lang from Cheaper by the Dozen) were amazing. All in all, I say: SEE IT - and SEE IT first

This version was filmed in 1999 and was a big budget film. Foster (Freaky Friday) plays the widow who travels to Siam to tutor the children of the King. Yun-Fat (The Killer) is the king. The costumes and setting were amazing. I just didn't think Foster was good for the role. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you like the others and are curious to see a comparison.
