  • "Anna, an English tutor, travels to Siam in 1862 with her young son, to educate the harem and 67 children of the rather savage king, who covets Western culture but insists upon maintaining Siam's customs and some particularly barbaric traditions. She also meets and befriends the king's first wife, long relegated to the back rooms of the imperial palace, and a pretty young addition to the harem who falls in love with another and is tragically executed by the king for being unfaithful. The king gropes toward sensitivity and Western reason, battling his authoritarian instincts all the way."

Never very focused in his life or work, the priest is stretched to the limit in his new post coping with the starvation and poverty plaguing his flock during China's bloody civil war. This was Peck's first lead role in a major film and was a success, garnering him an Oscar nomination. Producer Mankiewicz's wife Rose Stradner, has a significant acting role in the film.
