Dunne matches Deborah Kerr in both intensity and believability as a bold widow who stands up to toxic patriarchy and corruption in a foreign country while remaining sympathetic to the conflicted goals of its intelligent but brutal leader. Refreshingly, there is no hint of romantic interest between Dunne and Harrison; their relationship is one of begrudging mutual respect (and, for Dunne, eventually deep commitment). Of note are both Arthur Miller&#8217;s cinematography and Bernard Herrmann&#8217;s score, adding to the quality of this slightly over-long but engaging feminist tale.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Irene Dunne as Anna (nominated as one of the Best Actresses of the Year in Peary&#8217;s <em>Alternate Oscars<\/em>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Dunne-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Dunne-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"368\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Dunne-1.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Dunne-1-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Dunne-1-128x92.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Dunne-1-376x270.png 376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Rex Harrison as the King (nominated as one of the Best Actors of the Year in <em>Alternate Oscars<\/em>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Harrison-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Harrison-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"368\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Harrison-1.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Harrison-1-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Harrison-1-128x92.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Anna-and-the-King-Harrison-1-376x270.png 376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Arthur C.
