This is a film whose cultural and political tone/message has not aged well. There is a lot of imperialism, although the film overtly addresses that as a threat to Thailand [Siam] However, a lot of the performances are still good and surprisingly nuanced. The soundtrack is classic, there is a lot that it feels the film assumes is fine in the way Anna interacts with the people around her. Her son is barely a character in this. But Yul Brynner is still totally magnetic. Also I covet his entire wardrobe.
