Anastasia - 1956 09

Historical drama starring an Oscar-winning Ingrid Bergman. In 1920s Paris a group of exiled Russians claim to have discovered the daughter of the Tsar. Epic sweep and an air of mystery drive the intrigue as clever aristo Yul Brynner manipulates amnesiac Bergman's passage into high society... not caring whether she's royalty or not.

Review

The film in which Ingrid Bergman returned to Hollywood and won an Oscar all in one swoop. Many would argue that she is out-acted by that dowager duchess of actresses, Helen Hayes, in a good strong story about an attempt to pass off a young woman as the surviving daughter of the last Czar of Russia. Gaudy, opulent settings form the backdrop to the Dr Zhivago-ish drama.
