Note that Darnell's character is burned at the stake for leaving the king. Tragically, Darnell herself would die in a house fire 19 years later. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this manual (which has "Prop. Research" at the top of the first interior page) was created by Lorry Haddock. The manila envelope that contains the manual has a tab with "Anna and the King of Siam" on it. Lorry Haddock was a set decorator in the 1930s to the 1950s, and it would seem certain that he created this to aid in creating the props for the movie. There are tabbed sections for all teh different types of things that would be needed for the movie. It would seem that this is from the 1946 movie "Anna and the King of Siam", but we found a reference to his working on the 1956 musical remake "The King and I", so it could be either film. Surely very few copies of this were created, and this may well be the only surviving example! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good.
