Anastasia (1956 film)
Anastasia is a 1956 American historical drama film directed by Anatole Litvak and written by Arthur Laurents.
Set in interwar France, the film follows the story of a suicidal amnesiac( Ingrid Bergman), whose remarkable resemblance to the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia — the youngest daughter of the late Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, who is rumored to have survived the execution of her family — draws her into a plot devised by the former Russian White General Bounine( Yul Brynner) and his associates to swindle from the Grand Duchess an inheritance of £ 10 million.
However, the ultimate hurdle to their plan is the exiled Russian aristocracy — in particular the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna( Helen Hayes) — whom their handpicked claimant must convince of her legitimacy if they wish for their scheme to succeed.
The origins of" Anastasia" lie in a play written by Marcelle Maurette, which was in turn inspired by Anna Anderson, the most famous of the many Anastasia impostors who appeared after the death of the Imperial family in July 1918.
Anatole Litvak
Anatole Litvak( May 21, 1902 – December 15, 1974) was a Ukrainian- born, Lithuanian- American filmmaker who wrote, directed, and produced films in various countries and languages.
He began his theatrical training at age 13 in Petrograd.
Litvak was notable for directing little- known foreign actors to early fame, often winning them Academy Awards.
In 1936 he directed" Mayerling", a film which made Charles Boyer and Danielle Darrieux international stars.
He returned Swedish star Ingrid Bergman to popularity with American audiences in 1956 with" Anastasia", which won her an Oscar.
He directed Olivia de Havilland to an Academy Award nomination for" The Snake Pit" in 1948.
He also directed Jean Gabin in his screen debut, and directed Elia Kazan in his earliest acting role," City for Conquest".
Litvak directed" Confessions of a Nazi Spy" in 1939 starring Edward G. Robinson, which used actual newsreel footage from U.S. Nazi rallies.
As a refugee from Nazi Germany, Litvak was among the few directors who tried to open Hollywood's eyes to the threat Germany posed to Europe and the world.
During World War II, he enlisted and co-directed documentaries with Frank Capra, including" Why We Fight" films.
His solo- directed," The Battle of Russia", in 1943, won numerous awards and was nominated for an Oscar.
Because of Litvak's ability to speak Russian, German, and French, he supervised the filming of the D- Day Normandy landings.

For his volunteer wartime efforts, he ended the war as a full colonel, receiving special awards from the governments of France, Britain, and the United States.
