The whole aura of "Anastasia is alive" began here, i mean this movie truly embodied in the 50s what we could only enjoy the most in the 70s with a choral cast, not only with the big return of Ingrid Bergman, but with Yul Brynner and Helen Hayes both wonderful vintage actors with an underrated profile.
However this movie was a letdown, I mean I hate when a movie wastes their potential due to many reason, this one´s is the Hayes code and the stupid 30s-40s ellipsis that should´ve died long ago, i mean there´s a lot in this film that doesn´t seem correct or even finished, being the main example that awful ending that doesn´t give any closure to the film and looks unfinished and rushed. so yep this movie embodies most of the things that i didn´t liked about these 50s era films, that just a few has done well.
However this film is actually good compared to that awful Don Bluth´s carnival of Disney cringe he made in the 90s, and of course this Anna is more emphatic, more human and with such a wonderful performance by Ingrid Bergman that by default, she wins over the animated Anna who hasn´t evoked a single emotion on me
But sadly such an interesting ucrony like the Anastasia one hasn´t really achieved a nirvana of storytelling, I hope that someday, it will be different
