The second of two films featuring one of the cinema's great actresses
Starring Ingrid Bergman, Yul Brynner
with Helen Hayes, Akim Tamiroff, Martita Hunt, Felix Aylmer
Everyone assumed that Anastasia, daughter of the last Tsar of Russia, was murdered during the Revolution, but a group of White Russians exiled in Paris claim to have found the true heir to the Russian throne.
Ingrid Bergman received an Academy Award for this, probably the best performance of her career, in her first American film after a long, self-imposed exile in Europe.
