It has many outdated elements but I do enjoy the songs and performances

The epic romance never really evolves or culminates, though Anna's hope that she's set into motion a progressive, gradual curtailing of barbaric rule is gratifying.

Already saluted here but deserving another mention. It's a glorious musical, by far the best Rodgers-and-Hammerstein show ever filmed.

TV Guide

Starring Yul Brynner in the part he seemed born to play, this is a fine if slightly stage-bound example of the 1950s Hollywood musical spectacular.
