Here is the real story behind the woman who inspired a
best-selling biography, one of the top Broadway musicals of all
time. And two classic films--and it's one that will inspire you.
The epic love story between a British governess and the King of
Siam once again comes to life with the release of Twentieth Century
Fox's Anna and the King, starring Academy Award-winning actress
Jodie Foster and international superstar Chow Yun-Fat.
The Story of Anna and the King captures all the nuances of this
extraordinary relationship, as well as the extravagant film
depicting it, in lush, full-color photographs. Cecelia Holland
weaves a beautiful narrative of the true histories behind Anna
Loenowens and the Siamese royal family, as well as the political
and cultural rises and falls of Siam--present-day Thailand--based
on historical information and the published works of Anna
Leonowens.
Filmed entirely in Malaysia, Anna and the King features one of
the largest motion picture sets ever constructed--the King's
palace, which covers more than eight acres of land. Under the
direction of Andy Tennant, an international cast and crew
representing more than twenty countries works with a myriad of
stunningly ornate costumes, thousands of extras, and a menagerie of
specially trained animals, The Story of Anna and the King invites
you to enter King Mongkut's world.
