My order (movie) came very quickly and was in excellent condition!
The movie is true. It is long, but worth the time. Amy Irving is excellent as usual. July 10, 2008

Great Movie!

I just watched this on TV the other night and decided I "needed" it for my DVD collection. This movie will make you believe that Anna Anderson was, in fact, Anastasia Romanov. However, recent DNA evidence has proven that Anna Anderson was not a Romanov. In any case the acting is superb and the costuming is beautiful. It's a great story all by itself whether or not it was based on truth. It's right up there with Sidney Sheldon's "The Other Side of Midnight" and Danielle Steel's "Crossings". January 31, 2008

Fascinating movie with a great cast

Although we can now be almost certain, due to DNA tests, that Anna Anderson was not the real Anastasia, the story is still fascinating. And there is more to it than whether she was Anastasia or not. It's the story about a person looking for her identity (and I'm sure she believed she was Anastasia) and the story of how people react to her claims.

30 years before this TV movie was made, Ingrid Bergman won an Oscar playing the same character. It's beyond me how Amy Irving didn't win an Emmy for her performance. It is acting at its best. She was nominated for a Golden Globe but didn't win. Jan Niklas, in my opinion giving one of the weaker performances, won a Golden Globe. Irving also gets great help from several legendary actors. Rex Harrison, in his last performance, is the best of the supporting actors.

I can be impatient sometimes and don't usually watch movies this long, but "Anastasia" kept my interest non-stop for over three hours. Don't miss it. January 9, 2008

Anastasia-Mini Series

This mini series has an impressive cast and top production. If you are a Romanoff buff, you will love this production. May 31, 2007

An engaging movie with historical signifance

the only reason that I rated this movie with 4 stars is that I have not read any books that are totally non-fictional on the subject. If I can take the movie for a fictional rendition that has truth in its core, then I could not have been more fascinated! Amy Irving is, as always, an exceptional actress and I aplaud her. A long but riviting movie! May 30, 2007
