In Thailand (previously called Siam), the royal family is held in very high esteem. This film is banned in Thailand due to its historical inaccuracies and the perceived disrespect to the monarchy. The real Prince Chulalongkorn grew up to be an especially good King Chulalongkorn and led the way for modernization, improved relations with the West and instituted many important cultural and social reforms in Thailand. A well-researched book that corrects the many myths of Anna's stated story is "Masked: The Life of Anna Leonowens, Schoolmistress at the Court of Siam," by Alfred Habegger.
Yul Brynner is the only actor to have played a lead role in a Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II production both on the stage and on the screen, winning a Tony and an Oscar, respectively. He also played the role on the small screen in the Anna and the King tv series.
The real-life Anna Leonowens was the maternal great aunt of Boris Karloff.
The reality of the "Shall We Dance" sequence was that Deborah Kerr suffered continual bruising from the hoops in her skirt.
Marni Nixon was hired on a six-week contract, and she was to be at the studio every day that Deborah Kerr rehearsed a scene with a song in it. Nixon would actually stand next to Kerr and walk through the whole scene - both of them singing - and Nixon would be looking closely at Kerr's facial expressions to try to imitate her speech pattern in the songs.
"King Mongkut of Siam: Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!"
"Louis: Mother, look! The Prime Minister is naked. Anna Leonowens: Oh don't be ridiculous, Louis. He can't be all naked. He's only [looks through the telescope] Anna Leonowens: ... half naked."
