    OOF, Yul Brynner is just magnetic. That mellifluous voice, that accent, the gentility and manners, the charm, the true humility and kindness! I need to go take some deep breaths.

    I saw the show in London in 1980. Brynner was & always will be THE KING. He was amazing & magnetic.

    What a rags to riches story. Yul Brynner came to this country knowing only a handful of English words. His looks, charisma, voice, desire to succeed, and talent carried him far on screen and stage. His portrayal of Ramses II was mesmerizing. Truly the American Dream come true. Superb interviewer.

      Yul shaved his head for this role at a time when bald heads were just...unfashionable. Losing hair was unmanly. So to proudly have it shaved, brazen, yet still put off a vibe that today is called "big dick energy" was crazy and intriguing

    Mention the name Mr Yul Brynner and you
    instantly connect the GREAT Hollywood
    Superstar as the King of Siam in the
    movie and stage production of
    The King and I one of my favourite
    musicals of all time. Mr Yul Brynner
    with a strong voice of command once
    you see him you are already in awe
    of his presence immediately. Some
    actors are born to play certain
    roles and Mr Yul Brynner was
    meant to play The King of
    Siam. The SO lovely so down to
    earth now OBE Virginia
    McKenna was SO perfect for the
    role as Anna. SUPER show and
    SUPER interview.

    I love the fact that he augments his height with very high heels on his shoes and sandals. (6:43). He broke his back in 1958 and lost some of his 5' 8" which caused him to look way up to his costars which was sometimes an issue apparently. Height or hair? Who needs it in his case.

    Great interview , however when Virginia McKenna says she auditioned for Richard Rodgers in New York and 'Mr Hammerstein' she is stating that she either auditioned for Jamie (James Hammerstein) or Bill (William) Hammerstein I'm not sure which, as the author/lyricist Oscar Hammerstein had died 19 years before in 1960.

      He said he was 58, he died in '85 aged 65, so about '78?
      Good quality for TV if it is '78, looks way more modern though.

      Yuk Brynner was born July 1920 (some interviews he claimed 1925?) Based on him saying he is 58 years old during this clip it would be 1978. After his death in October 1985, an Ad aired of him speaking out against cigarettes. He quit too late, sadly smoking caused him Cancer.
