A suicidal amnesia victim is chosen by Russian expatriates to impersonate Anastasia, the last surviving member of the Romanov dynasty, heiress to the Russian throne. As such, she becomes part of a scam to collect ten million pounds owed to Anastasia. Is she just impersonating the heiress or is she the real thing?

Reviews

Washington Star

Jay Carmody

The film...does more than bring Miss Bergman back to the American screen. It proves also that she has lost none of the beauty or the talent that made her an actress before she became merely controversial.

The motion picture, "Anastasia," a somewhat altered version of the stage play, is talky and slow-moving at times and demands the powerful acting of its trio of stars. Their performances give considerable merit and substance to the production.

It is an intriguing story of a strange world, realistically handled and superbly acted.

Despite the many fine elements of the story, the pace of the motion picture fails to maintain mounting suspense. If it were not for the outstanding acting...it would be just average production.

Fine acting, a fascinating story, sure-handed film craftsmanship and sumptuous settings give the filmgoer plenty for his money in this expensive and already celebrated CinemaScope drama.
