This is a richly produced, atmospheric telling of the Anastasia legend set against the time of the Russian revolution. Although made for television, it has the look of a classic feature film made during the golden age of Hollywood. In the title role, Amy Irving gives what is probably one of the finest performances of her career. Others around her are equally impressive: Rex Harrison, Olivia de Havilland, Claire Bloom, Omar Shariff, Jan Niklas and Susan Lucci. The epic story begins with the start of the revolution and the exile of the family of Nicolas and Alexandra. After fleeing execution, the story follows Anastasia's years of struggle to regain her royal heritage--and the opposition of forces around her who call her an imposter. Winner of two Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and much acclaim from critics and public alike.
