Anastasia Summary
Director: Anatole Litvak
Genres: Drama
Rating:
Anastasia is adapted from the popular stage play by Marcelle Maurette. The scene is Paris in the early 1920s. Ingrid_Bergman plays a would-be suicide who is rescued by Russian expatriate Yul_Brynner. Brynner's motives are far from altruistic; together with a group of Russian cohorts, he hopes to pass Bergman off as Princess Anastasia, the daughter of the late Czar Nicholas. If the conspirators are successful, they stand to collect the ten million pounds held in trust for Anastasia in the Bank of England. The biggest obstacle facing Brynner and company is the surviving Romanov empress (Helen_Hayes), who must be convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that Bergman is the genuine article. Anastasia represented Ingrid_Bergman's return to Hollywood after several years' exile following her "scandalous" affair with Italian director Roberto_Rossellini. Hal Erickson, Rovi
