Based on the diaries of Anaa Leonowens, Anna And The King departs from the usual musical treatment of these memories and is played as a straight drama. Starring Jodie Foster as Anna and Chow Yun-Fat as the King of Siam, we are treated to lovely costumes and gorgeous scenery as we watch the English schoolteacher attempt to fit in with the Siamese customs while she educates the 58 children of King Mongkut. As Anna struggles with her adjustment, The King has his own lessons to learn in the ways of the West. (Laurie Sevano)
