Critic Reviews for Anna and the King of Siam
All Critics (8) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (1) | DVD (1)
Before it became a popular musical with Yul Brynner, Margaret Landon's book about the British Governess was a skillful, well acted melodrama by Rex Harrison (in his Hollywood debut) and Irene Dunne.

Predating "The King and I," and just as entertaining, minus the music.
October 15, 2004 | Rating: 4/5
Rex Harrison is sexy, Irene Dunne is prim, but the racism is evident.
