What critics compared Anastasia to
This was Anastasia , the latest telling of the oft-told tale of a young woman posing as the long-lost Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, the last imperial ruler of Russia (it was 20th Century's Fox's own second version of the story, though 1956's Anastasia has little to do with 1997's).
The source for the new Anastasia is the Oscar-winning 1956 Ingrid Bergman movie, about the youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas II, long rumored to have survived the execution of the Romanov family during the Russian revolution in 1917.
