What about that broadway show called “The King And I”?
with Yul Brenner and Deborah Kerr.

What about that broadway show called “The King And I”? with Yul Brenner and Deborah Kerr.

Well - What about it?

It is not a complete clause (doesn't contain a verb), but it is apparently in the nominative case, e.g.: "The King and I had supper together" or "The King and I were good friends."

Dative case: "The letter was handed to the King and me."

Accusative case: "He saw the King and me."

Anyone who has studied a foreign language like Russian (six cases) or German (four cases) would never make such a mistake!

I is proper as a subject, not as an object. “The King and I” is the subject of the sentence.

[Codeflier]

That is correct. It’s not a direct object.

I am really worried about the grammar being taught in schools today. A symptom of our overall decline.

Simple rule - “I” when the subject, “me” when the object.

[Jemian]

“The King and I” is correct grammar because both “The King” and “I” are used as subjects of the sentence.

[Persevero]

Proper English because it’s in the nominative case -
the King and I

Do you miss I is incorrect. Subjective case, “me.”

“What about that broadway show called ‘The King And I’?”

That isn’t a sentence, so it doesn’t matter. It would be correct if it were a sentence like “The King and I danced all night.”

The king danced all night.
I danced all night.
