Month O' Musicals: The King and I

Vital Stats:

Summary:
Widow Anna Leonowens travels to Siam, becomes the schoolteacher for the royal children, and develops a complicated relationship with the king.

Memorable Moments:
The movie includes a number of beautiful songs ("Hello, Young Lovers", "We Kiss in a Shadow", "Getting to Know You", "Something Wonderful") but "Shall We Dance?" is the big number.

What I love about it:
Yul Brynner. Being the king in this movie may have gone to his (bald) head. But still.
