Anna and the King of Siam (film)
Anna and the King of Siam is a 1946 drama film directed by John Cromwell.
An adaptation of the 1944 novel of the same name by Margaret Landon, it was based on the fictionalized diaries of Anna Leonowens, an Anglo- Indian woman who claimed to be British and became governess in the Royal Court of Siam( now modern Thailand) during the 1860s.
Darryl F. Zanuck read Landon's book in galleys and immediately bought the film rights.
The story mainly concerns the culture clash of the Imperialist Victorian values of the British Empire with the supposedly autocratic rule of Siam's King Mongkut.
The successful film starred Rex Harrison as the king and Irene Dunne as Anna.
At the 19th Academy Awards ceremony, the film received two Oscars; for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction( Lyle R. Wheeler, William S. Darling, Thomas Little, Frank E. Hughes).
Also nominated were Bernard Herrmann for the score, the screenwriters and supporting actress Gale Sondergaard.
Landon's novel was later adapted by Rodgers and Hammerstein for their 1951 stage musical" The King and I" and subsequent 1956 film of the same name.
American film director Andy Tennant remade the film in 1999 as" Anna and the King" with Jodie Foster and Chow Yun- fat.
The portrayal of Tuptim in" Anna and the King of Siam" is considerably less sympathetic than in the musical version" The King and I", as the 1946 film shows animosity between Tuptim and Anna, while the musical makes her into a romantic character.
Also, Tuptim is ultimately executed cruelly by the king, following an episode in Leonowens's book, while in the musical her fate is made ambiguous.
The King and I (1956 film)
The King and I is a 1956 American musical film made by 20th Century Fox, directed by Walter Lang and produced by Charles Brackett and Darryl F. Zanuck.
The screenplay by Ernest Lehman is based on the Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II musical" The King and I", based in turn on the novel" Anna and the King of Siam" by Margaret Landon.
That novel in turn was based on memoirs written by Anna Leonowens, who became school teacher to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s.
Leonowens' stories were autobiographical, although various elements of them have been called into question.
The film stars Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner.
The film was a critical and commercial success, and was nominated for 9 Oscars, winning 5, including Best Actor for Brynner.
Another film adaptation of the same musical, the animated film" The King and I", was released in 1999.
