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. The twist is that Bergman's mystery woman seems to know more about the lost Anastasia than she is told. Based on the play by Marcelle Maurette and Guy Bolton, this film--directed by Anatole Litvak (Out of the Fog)--really does get under one's skin, not least of all because of its intriguing story but even more because of the strong chemistry between Bergman and Brynner. --Tom Keogh

Thanks to the almighty God that they finally found the remainder of this poor child and the history of this girl is forever closed! No more speculations!
 Thoroughly enjoyable! February 6, 2008

The performances by Bergman and Brynner really escalate this film into greatness. I wish more people would see this. Its such a beautiful and subtle film.
 Great film, horrible voice track! September 4, 2007

A film for the ages, and it's so controversial because of A.Laurents' screenplay, a thorough critique of the Romanov Dynasty and monarchy in general in 1956 when everybody was running from McCarthy.
Ingrid Bergman is so superb, as is Yul Brynner and Helen Hayes.Waht can you say about the scenes between Ingrid and Brynner and Ingrid with
Helen Hayes? They are so brilliant! And the p[hotography, the use of CinemaScope!
Akim Tamiroff and Martita Hunt are marvellous too. However, this DVD has major flaws with respect to the transmission of sound. The music overwhelms everyone, and the voices are low and not understandable as aresult of many imbakances. There was the Fox Tape, not LBXd but clear and balanced. What the heck happened?
. Keep the LBX tapes from Fox Movie Channel and be content, or, if you can get the Chinese DVD import, get it, beautiful sound and color. This release is sad, to be sure, but the Fox Dvds are very bad, and need to be re -done some day by competent people, by people who love film.
Look at The Gang's All Here, for example, and other box sets from Fox, the Tyrone Power one..keep the old tapes.
Early Technicolor, Brilliant, Moving, Just Utterly First Class August 3, 2007

EDIT of 18 Oct 08 to delete erroneous reference to colorization.
This is such a beautiful film. The color is vivid, technicolor, but nothing can be better than Yule Brenner and Ingred Birgman with a quiet love that comes to fruition.
I am an unabashed romantic, and this DVD is my top ten list.
Do NOT fall for the Meg Ryan version! That is animated pap. I love Meg Ryan but this (Yule Brenner and Ingred Bergman) is the only real thing).
This movie was a perfect evening in every sense of the word.
RESTORATION AND EXTRAS MAKE IT GREAT..ER!!!! May 19, 2007
Robert M. Bonnett (towson, md.)
It's already a great movie but the extras make it greater! Either before viewing or after watching the movie you have the chance to see the Biography channels story on the real Anastasia. I believe this gave me so much more satisfaction because I was able to learn and also to compare it to the fictional story that the movie was. I wont even waste space describing the actors performances except to say ..Magnificant!!!!
