The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical was based on the 1944 novel Anna and the King of Siam by Margaret Landon. That novel in turn was based on memoirs written by Anna Leonowens, who became school teacher to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s. The film was a critical and commercial success and was nominated for 9 Oscars and won 5, including Best Actor for Brynner.
