The King and I
65Worth an evening.
The songs are lovely, and it is still an American musical about an Asian court.
The review
This is an American musical about an Asian court. An English widow comes to Siam to teach the king's children. He is absolute. She is not his subject in her own mind. A girl in that court loves a man she is not free to love. The king is dying as the teacher leaves.
The music is why a house still puts it on. Teaching the children is a real job. Do not let the score erase the girl who is not free, or the fact that this court is an American musical's court. A family can watch it. Say those two things while the record is still going.

Temperance is the thin one.
Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?

The Sound of Music
78 instead of 65
The Sound of Music is still a musical film, and it scores 78 instead of 65. What you gain is household: A marriage in earnest, and seven children who are the stake of the last reel.
