Anna and the King of Siam
A young, widowed mother travels from her native England to Siam in the mid-19th century to tutor the royal children. She clashes immediately with the strict rules of the foreign court, but Anna and the King soon come to respect each other and form a lifelong bond of friendship and trust.

Poor Rex performance - MovieLover4
I love old movies and one of my all time favourites is My fair Lady with Rex Harrison. This movie is a victim of an era where the studios did not use actors that are appropriate to the race they are acting. Rex Harrison as a Thai king is very poor.
The movie starts out okay and you can see where Yul Brenner gets the phrase "etc etc etc" for his portayal and the story is almost exactly the same as the more recent Jodie Foster version.
The bigger problem is that the movie plods towards the end and tries to say that Anna educates the barbarian Thais.
