	Anastasia (1956 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anastasia is a 1956 film which tells the true story of a young, confused woman in France after the Russian Revolution who, backed by the Russian emigre community, attempts to pass herself off as Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, the daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.
		A central part of the film seems to be that the Dowager Empress is convinced that the young woman is her grand-daughter, and she is not a character who is easily fooled.
		The movie was adapted by Guy Bolton and Arthur Laurents from the play by Marcelle Maurette.

	Anastasia (1956)
		The movie opens with a text preface about the end of tsarist Russia in 1917 and the execution of the royal family in 1918.
		Most of the movie follows the attempts to convince various folks — and the audience — that Anna is Anastasia.
		While the movie never strongly tells us yes or no, it seems to lean toward the “yes” side of the coin; for the purposes of the film, it hints to the audience that Anna and Anastasia were one and the same.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- ANASTASIA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		ANASTASIA ($20) is a wonderful classic movie that brims with romanticism and a great deal of old style Hollywood flair.
		Because of her striking resemblance to the Czar’s youngest daughter, and the persistent rumors that the Grand Duchess Anastasia survived a Bolshevik firing squad in 1918, Bounine wants to use Anna as part of a plot to liberate a ten million pound inheritance from the Bank of England.
		Also included on the DVD is the AandE Biography program Anastasia: Her True Story, as well as Movietone Newsreel footage of the film’s twin movie premieres, Ingrid Bergman award clips and footage of the Romanov family, as well as separate footage of the Czar in 1907.

	Anastasia - Movie Review
		Bounin is seeking a woman to impersonate Grand Duchess Anastasia, the daughter of the murdered Tsar of Russia who has long been rumoured to have survived the revolution, in order to claim a substantial inheritance.
		'Anastasia' is a romantic fantasy rather than an accurate historical piece, and on that level it is spectacular.
		DVD Extras: In the UK, 'Anastasia' is available on a stand-alone budget DVD or as part of a two-disc set with another Ingrid Bergman film 'The Inn of the Sixth Happiness'.

		The drawing little Anastasia makes for Marie is identical to the one the real Anastasia drew for her father in 1914.
		Anastasia could be just the type of great animation and nudge towards history that helps kids.

	20th Century Fox takes on Disney with 'Anastasia' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The 1956 movie takes place years later in Paris, with a con artist's attempt to train a fake Anastasia to reap the lavish reward offered by the surviving Romanovs.
		In their version, Anastasia is indeed the princess (credit that 1990s phenomenon, repressed memory syndrome), but they maintained the two principals' journeys of self-discovery.
		The film's charm lies in its look: There's a thrilling train wreck; Anastasia moves with the appropriate assurance of a young woman who does not realize her own grace; Dimitri's desperate con is reflected in well-observed tics; and the dance sequences are stunning.

	Anastasia (1956) - Review - Piddleville
		The story of the Romanovs itself is a hodge podge of fact and folk tale (including the character of Rasputin), but one of the most enduring of the myths was that of Anastasia, the Tsar’s youngest daughter.
		The movie is an intriguing, sumptuous production starring Ingrid Bergman as Anastasia in a wonderfully precise performance, though a bit stagey in some instances.
		Rather than do a story about the lost daughter trying to regaining her identity and place, it focuses on the characters who are trying to foist a false Anastasia on everyone and thereby falsely claim the Romanov millions.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Anastasia (1956)
		This is the earlier, and definitely not animated, version of the story of the hunt for Anastasia Romanov, daughter of the Tsar who, according to legend, was the only member of the royal family to survive their massacre by revolutionaries in 1917.
		Anastasia starts off in the late 1920s among the exiled White Russian community in Paris, who rather obsessively keep their country’s customs alive in a foreign place.
		What is unfortunate about the film – and the probable reason why Fox amped everything up, including the addition of Rasputin, for Don Bluth’s animated 1997 version – is its staginess (the script was adapted from a play) and lack of momentum.

		The lustrous Ingrid Bergman won her second Academy Award for her finely modulated portrayal of an amnesia victim who is manipulated by an exiled Russian White general (Yul Brynner) into posing as the long-lost daughter of the late Czar Nicholas.
		And even after Anastasia's acceptance by her grandmother, the ending seems artificial and rushed, as if the director ran out of patience and yelled 'cut' prematurely.
		When Anastasia left from her grandmother again, who was so kind, was so approachable, was the person she had wanted to see for so many years.

	Opinions Expressed about: "Anastasia: The Movie and the Real Princess"
		Don't forget, this movie is a remake of the previous Anastasia movie (starring Marlene Detrich) (the credit to the earlier movie is buried in the end credits, but it IS there), which was based on a French play, which was a "ripped from the headlines" story based on the Anna Anderson case.
		The dog was Anastasia's dog, whom she is said to have been holding in her arms when they were shot by the firing squad.
		With Anastasia you have a story that is not a fairy tail and is an historic event and as such is a history lesson, don't change it.

	Anastasia Movie
		Ingrid Bergman gives one of her memorable, haunting, and haunted performances as an amnesiac chosen by a White Russian general (Yul Brynner) in 1928 to play the part of Anastasia, the long-rumored but missing survivor of the Bolsheviks' murderous attack on the czar's family.
		Brynner was also to receive an Oscar in 1956, not for this film, but for "The King and I." Also marvelous is Helen Hayes as the Dowager Empress Maria, who in a moving scene is brought to believe that Anna is truly Anastasia.
		The DVD should be re-released with improved sound, because it is unacceptable as is, and it is a pity such a lovely film has been marred by an unintelligible voice track (which incidentally, sounds fine in the portions with the commentary that one can hear).

		Two men find her in Paris, and believing she is Anastasia, the daughter of the last Russian czar, try to collect a reward the house of Romanov is offering for their missing heiress.
		This movie may mark a significant turn for Bluth animated features much in the same way that The Little Mermaid did for Disney, elevating it beyond toonish animal stories and creating drama that can be enjoyed by all ages.
		Fact: A 1956 live action version of Anastasia, starring Ingrid Bergman in the title role, was also released by 20th Century Fox.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Anastasia
		Anastasia is a cleverly written and sumptiously-mounted fantasy version of one of the 20th century's more persistent mysteries, the idea that one of Czar Nicholas'es children, Anastasia, could have been spared execution with her family, and somehow end up a lost amnesiac on the streets of Paris.
		More famous than the movie itself was the confident return to bigscreen stardom by Ingrid Bergman, who had been the subject of a media lynching six years earlier for leaving her husband and family to run off with Italian director Roberto Rossellini.
		The historical Anastasia claimant couldn't even speak Russian, but she had half of Europe and a lot of gullible Americans convinced she was the genuine article.

	dOc DVD Review: Anastasia: Fox Studio Classics (1956)
		Although the Romanov family was believed to have been killed by the Bolsheviks, there were persistent rumors that Anastasia had escaped the executioners and had been seen in a variety of places.
		Using Anna's resemblance and the fact that while in a mental asylum she claimed to be Anastasia, Bounine, Chernov (Akim Tamaroff) and Petrovin (Sacha Pitoeff) work to remake the suicidal and confused Anna into the Grand Duchess Anastasia, drilling her on court conduct and facts about the royal household.
		Most interesting is the A&E Biography episode devoted to Anastasia; most of the first half is devoted to the real (brief) life of the Grand Duchess, while the balance is devoted to Anna Anderson and her claims.

		Trivia: This movie was based on the story of Anna Anderson, a woman who claimed to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia.
		It was later discovered that, in fact, she was not who she claimed to be; the mystery was solved through DNA examination of a small piece of tissue cut from Anna in an operation years before.
		It is at times too talkative, a bit rushed in the execution and the ending is relatively weak, but for the larger part this is great entertainment and high quality film-making.

		The 1956 version of "Anastasia" is the rapturous fairytale that attempts to answer the question surrounding the mystery of what became of the youngest daughter belonging to Tsar Nicholas II, the last Imperial ruler of Russia.
		But when the woman being groomed as Anastasia suddenly recalls for the Empress a memory that no one but she could have known, the Dowager's heart melts and she accepts the woman as her grand daughter.
		She is majestic as well as vulnerable, and the scene where she meets "Anastasia" is quite tender and touching.

	Anastasia DVD at Video Universe
		Based on the legend of the real-life daugher of the last Russian czar, ANASTASIA combines imaginative animation and lively songs to tell the story of a princess who escapes a horrible execution and mysteriously reappears after being thought dead.
		But the resurgence of the long-lost Anastasia also attracts the attention of the scary Rasputin (Christopher Lloyd), who, with his hilarious sidekick, Bartok the bat (Hank Azaria), schemes to do in the last Romanov.
		Though much lighter (thankfully for children) than the 1956 Anatole Litvak-directed ANASTASIA adapted from Marcelle Maurette's play, this movie is still packed with thrills, chills, and romance.
