Movie Reviews of Anastasia
Movie Review: Dashing Brynner and moving Bergman
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful movie without a doubt. I only wished the ending scene would be between Brynner and Bergman or maybe it's just the romantic in me who wanted to see one last glimpse of those two together! Brynner is so handsome in this movie and Bergman is an absolutely wonderful actress. Brynner was an excellent choice for the Russian General. You even get a chance to hear his amazing voice when he sings with the gypsies, and you see him dance and play the guitar. Just for those moments, I would have purchased this DVD. Brynner's character evolves beautifully in this movie. Even if he seems only interested in money in the beginning, we can see the change in him and his conversation with Helen Hays is so moving it bring tears to my eyes. Bergman was also great in this movie, just as the supporting cast (who can forget the Baroness Livenbaum!). Oh after seeing this movie I want to see all of Yul Brynner's movies. Don't miss out on this one, it's a classic that should not be forgotten!Movie Review: Anastasia Is Finally On DVD.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD when it came out 2 months ago when it first came out. And I love this movie more than Any other movie that Ingrid Bergman played in. I especially liked it because they had an interview with Hellen Hayes (The Grandmother) son James MacArthur. I have been corresponding with him and i just really liked that.Here Is A brief Description:
Anastasie (Ingird Bergman) is a woman who has no clue about who she is and where she comes from, she then meets (Yul Brynner) who thinks that if he can train her to act like the Real Annastasia he can pass her off and get the huge reward for her return. Well when they get to St. petersburg they find out that The Arch Duchess (Hellen Hayes) has lost hope of ever finding her Annastasia and refuses to see Ingrid Bergman. Well she finally visits Ingrid Bergman and realizes that she really is her grand daughter. And it ends happily.
Great Movie. 5 Star Rating.
Movie Review: Duchess or imposter?
Summary: 5 Stars
Is Ingrid Bergman really the grand duchess of Russia, supposedly killed during the 1918 Revolution, or is she an imposter? The movie opens in 1928 in Paris; Bergman is a wandering beggar. A group of Russian exiles finds her and are awed by her resemblance to the duchess. In order to claim 10 million ruples in the duchess's name, they devise a scheme to coach her and then pass her off as the real item. Yul Brynner is the leader of this operation, but as he coaches her in the ways of the real duchess, it becomes clear to Bergman that she IS the real duchess. But who will believe her? Bergman is excellent as Anastasia, winning the Acadamy Award for her role. Also excellent is Helen Hayes as the Empress. [This was Bergman's comeback movie after years of being shunned by the public because of her affair with Italian director Roberto Rosellini - and what a comeback!] Definitely worth a watch.
Movie Review: Early Technicolor, Brilliant, Moving, Just Utterly First Class
Summary: 5 Stars
EDIT of 18 Oct 08 to delete erroneous reference to colorization.
This is such a beautiful film. The color is vivid, technicolor, but nothing can be better than Yule Brenner and Ingred Birgman with a quiet love that comes to fruition.
I am an unabashed romantic, and this DVD is my top ten list.
Do NOT fall for the Meg Ryan version! That is animated pap. I love Meg Ryan but this (Yule Brenner and Ingred Bergman) is the only real thing).
This movie was a perfect evening in every sense of the word.
Movie Review: Superb film- DVD transfer marred by poor sound balance.
Summary: 5 Stars
The film has never looked so exquisite - bright restored colors and the full widescreen. Beware though that original negative sound elements were damaged in reels 1,4 and 5. The dialogue is recorded at very low levels compared to the loud, bright musical track - and the dialogue levels vary from left side of screen to right side of screen. This is something technicians could easily have corrected, but chose not to. Shoddy work from Fox technicians mars what would otherwise have been a great DVD film release.
