For years rumors abound that only Anastasia Romanov, the youngest daughter of
Czar Nicholas II, survived a Bolshevik attack on her family in 1918.
Because a
huge fortune awaits Anastasia, greedy expatriate Russian General Bounine (Yul
Brynner) attempts to groom a beautiful destitute woman (Bergman) to pass for the
empress.
The woman becomes so convincing that even the General suspects she
really is Anastasia.
But in order to escape poverty, she must prove her identity
to Anastasia’s grandmother (Helen Hayes) in a story that remains one of the most
cherished classics
