Russian exiles in Paris plot to collect ten million pounds from the Bank of England by grooming a destitute, suicidal girl to pose as heir to the Russian throne. While Bounin is coaching her, he comes to believe that she is really Anastasia. In the end, the Empress must decide her claim.
Editor's Verdict
"The film 'Anastasia' is a historical drama/romance centered on the Romanov dynasty claim, not the Christmas narrative. While it might have had a holiday release, there is no substantive evidence that the setting, plot, themes, or iconography are related to Christmas."
