"Shall We Dance," Darlings???????????????????


                       Another 1956 film turns 60 this year, one of the best film versions of a Rodgers And Hammerstein musical.  I am talking about "The King And I," with Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr.

                          The sumptuousness of this production would be enriched on a large screen, where it deserves to have a showing, in this milestone year.  The costumes are iconic, the score perfection, and the two leads give definitive performances, and Brynner won an Oscar for his.

                           It, like "The Ten Commandments," was nominated for Best Picture of 1956, along with "Around The World In Eighty Days," which won, and, sadly, has not held up with the passage of time.  No one will be celebrating its anniversary this year.  How about "Giant??????????"

                            And stay tuned, for the biggest 1956 Anniversary of all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             Here are Yul and Deborah, doing "Shall We Dance?" A showstopper, even on film!
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
