The 1956 historical drama Anastasia tells the tale of a damaged amnesiac (Ingrid Bergman, an Oscar-winner for her performance) who may or may not be the lost Romanoff princess, Anastasia.

In the movie, the mystery woman becomes the accomplice (willing or not?) of a charming White Russian general (Yul Brynner. The Ten Commandments) in a plot to swindle a boatload of money out of the grieving Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna (Helen Hayes, My Son John). At stake: not just money, but the putative Anastasia’s emotional sanity.

Directed by Anatole Litvak (The Night of the Generals) and produced by Buddy Adler, the film features a stunning score by Alfred Newman, which is available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.

As supplier Twilight Time prints up only 3,000 copies of each title, be sure to keep an eye on the Twilight Time site or that of their distributor Screen Archives’s for the announcement of the prebook date (usually 2-3 weeks before the title’s street date) and get ready to reserve!
