Anastasia is a 1956 American historical romantic drama film directed by Anatole Litvak and starring Ingrid Bergman, Yul Brynner and Helen Hayes. The screenplay written by Arthur Laurents is adapted from a 1952 play by French dramatist Marcelle Maurette, which is in turn inspired by the story of Anna Anderson, the best-known of the many Anastasia impostors who emerged after the Imperial family were murdered in July 1918.

Production

The film marked Bergman's return to working for a Hollywood studio after several years of working in Italy with her husband, Roberto Rossellini. (Their marriage had caused a scandal, as he divorced his then current wife, Marcella DeMarchis to be with her.)

The film was also a comeback for Helen Hayes. She had suspended her career for several years due to the death of her daughter Mary, and her husband's failing health.

Exterior filming for Anastasia took place primarily on-location in Paris, with a second unit capturing location footage of Copenhagen. The Alexander Nevsky Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Paris, which was a center of worship for Russian aristocrats and other émigrés from St. Petersburg in the city, is featured in one of the early scenes.

The studio interiors were shot at MGM-British Studios at Borehamwood, England. Knebworth House was used to represent the Empress Marie's palace.
