The relationship between the powerful King of Siam and a widowed English schoolteacher, recruited to tutor his wives and many children, begins with restrained hostility - but gradually gives way to more tender feelings. Oscar-winning Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, starring Deborah Kerr, Yul Brynner, Rita Moreno, Martin Benson and Terry Saunders.

Widowed Welsh mother Anna Leonowens becomes a governess and English tutor to the wives and many children of the stubborn King Mongkut of Siam. Anna and the King have a clash of personalities as she works to teach the royal family about the English language, customs and etiquette, and rushes to prepare a party for a group of European diplomats who must change their opinions about the King.
