while a bit dated, this film is more watchable than the extravagant musical with Deborah Kerr. This film is a pleasant history lesson for children who need to learn and respect other cultures.
If you saw the Broadway show, the elaborate costumes and customs of the culture at the time were unique and intriguing.
This film was made into a TV series for younger audiences in the mid 1970's. It was thought-provoking and different, and would be worth finding, if there are any tapes available.
