Amazon.com: Video: The King and I (1956) Based on Margaret Landon's classic "Anna and the King of Siam," this filmed adaptation of the Broadway show is exquisite, with a fabulous cast and extraordinary talent behind the camera as well, with the direction of Walter Lang, choreography by Jerome Robbins, and cinematography by Leon Shamroy. Also highly recommended is the dramatic 1946 film, "Anna and the King of Siam" with Irene Dunne and Rex Harrison. My favorite moment in the film is when Brynner first puts his arm around Kerr's waist, in the "Shall We Dance?" number, and their chemistry together sizzles more than many of the explicit love scenes we see on the screen today. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/630176031X?v=glance

Biographies: Latter-day Saint and/or Utah Film Personalities: S One of his best-remembered postwar film roles was the obsequious Siamese interpreter in both "Anna and the King of Siam" (1946) and its musical remake "The King and I" (1956). The film was heralded as a searing look at race relations in the 1950s and '60s, and drew praise for its emotional rawness and the bravery of both mother and daughter.

E! Online News - "Anna and the King" Banned in Thailand First, Thai censors wouldn't let 20th Century Fox film Anna and the King in the country, saying its portrayal of Thailand's beloved King Mongkut was demeaning. The 1956 Oscar winner, The King and I, which starred Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr, has never been screened in the country. Furthermore, the film is based on the memoirs of Anna Leonowens, an English teacher employed to school the king's 50-some kids, widely regarded by scholars as exaggerating her own skills, while depicting the king as buffoonish. www.eonline.com /News/Items/Pf/0,1527,5799,00.html   (396 words)

Anna and the King (1999) Like previous incarnations of the story (most notably the 1956 musical "The King and I") the Thai government refused on location shooting and banned the film soon after its release. Thailand, formerly known as Siam (where the film is based), argued (and has argued for years) that the diary the play was inspired by is indeed a fabricated account of a British commoner and her relationship with the King of Siam. "Anna and the King," the fourth feature length film adaptation of the play "Anna and the King of Siam," may be a dubious outing for some audiences and a rewarding experience for others. www.geocities.com /pangit_cash/aatk.html   (815 words)

Film History of the 1950s Jailhouse Rock (1957) is generally acknowledged as his most famous and popular film, but he also appeared in Loving You (1957) (noted for his first screen kiss) and in director Michael Curtiz' King Creole (1958) as a New Orleans teen rebel (acclaimed as one of his best acting roles) before the decade ended. They preferred Rock Around the Clock (1956) that featured disc jockey Alan Freed and the group Bill Haley and His Comets (singing the title song) and many others (such as the Platters and Freddy Bell and The Bell Boys) - it was the first film entirely dedicated to rock 'n' roll. By the 70s, his film roles had deteriorated, and although he returned to stage performances and revived his singing career, he was physically on the decline until his death in August, 1977 of heart disease and drug abuse. www.filmsite.org /50sintro.html   (2330 words)

Anna and the King Greg's Preview - Yahoo! Movies Its success led to a film version in 1946 (starring Rex Harrison and Irene Dunne), and then to the Rodgers and Hammerstein broadway play and the subsequent movie version in 1956 starring Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr. In 1943, her story was adapted by Margaret Landon into a novel (Anna and the King of Siam). Another plot loophole that seems more obvious here than in previous editions (probably because the polygamy issue is more obvious in this version), is why, if the King is so interested in Anna, he didn't just bring her in as a concubine or wife #24 (this is an issue the script doesn't really answer either). upcomingmovies.com /anna.html   (1130 words)

print_article.jsp?article=2592651 That film is so popular, in fact, and commands such a large audience everywhere its shown, that — according to one of the TV station directors responding to the survey — the film has never stopped playing in at least one major market since 1956. Since there were no sliding-scale box office receipts involved, and no industry orientation, we can assume that the movies we make an effort to watch at home are the ones that entertain us the most — films deserving of something akin to an Armchair Oscar. Back in 1977 television directors across the United States were polled to determine which movies — when shown on television — pulled in the biggest audiences. www.insidebayarea.com /portlet/article/html/fragments/print_article.jsp?article=2592651   (393 words)

KING KONG FAQ Besides the original release, King Kong was re-released was re-issued 5 times: 1938, 1942, 1946-47, 1952 and finally in 1956; This doesn't include the release through Janus Films in the seventies which included the long lost censored sequences. They decided to shoot the sequence featuring Kong picking the sailors off the fallen log and the subsequent battle with the tyrannosaurus rex as the best bet since most of the models and sets were already built for Creation.

Boston.com / A&E / Movies / Search / Movie details / Godzilla Titled "Gojira" when it debuted in Japan in 1954, this "Godzilla" is definitely not the Hollywood hack job that came out in 1956 titled "Godzilla, King of the Monsters!," which preserved only about 60 minutes of Ishiro Honda's masterpiece. The "Godzilla" that opens today is a 50th-anniversary Rialto Pictures rerelease of the monster's very first appearance on film, and it's a definitive, low-tech stomping of every sci-fi clone that has sprung up in the original's wake. In a tale that lives in sci-fi infamy, "King of the Monsters!" -- starring an especially dour Raymond Burr -- was the product of an American distributor and director, Terry O. Morse, who combined to turn Honda's rich atomic allegory into a sanitized generic triumph of man over beast. www.boston.com /movies/display?display=movie&id=6897   (189 words)
