Okay, when King says “A-mer-i-ca” I wanted Rita to dance in and reply “I like to live in America.” #KingAndI #TCMParty

The government of Thailand bans the #KingAndI, apparently because of the ahistorical and disrespectful portrayal of the king. At the same time, the character, and Brynner’s performance, are totally captivating. More than one thing can be true. #TCMParty

The map projection used by Anna in #KingAndI is a pretty balanced one that doesn’t oversize the Northern Hemisphere imperial powers or undersize the global South. Good for her. #TCMParty

I’ve never not thoroughly enjoyed Patrick Adiarte’s performances. He was a dancer on Hullabaloo, too, but that was before my time. #KingAndI #TCMParty

I feel like a hallmark of #RitaMoreno’s early film roles is that she really loses herself I’m the roles. You may not figure out it’s Rita. Part of this not being a star yet, but I think it also shows us her acting chops. #KingAndI #TCMParty
