Winner of five Academy Awards®, this majestic masterpiece is given the royal treatment in its 50th Anniversary Edition. With treasures fit for a king, this 2-disc DVD set features a brand-new making-of featurette, an isolated musical score, a songs-only option, Singalong subtitles, vintage stage excerpts, and much more!

Rodgers & Hammerstein's regal classic is based on the true story of Anna Leonowens (Deborah Kerr), an English widow who comes to Bangkok in the 1860s to serve as governess to the many children of the King of Siam. As immortalized by Yul Brynner in his Oscar®-winning performance, the King is a magnetic and unforgettable figure. When Anna and the King get to know each other - that leads to one of the most unusual and spellbinding friendships in musical history.
