There's not a lot here without the build to that and then the payoff.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-91728228291257501762015-04-28T11:00:04.137-05:002015-04-28T11:00:04.137-05:00There was an animated film also titled Anastasia t...There was an animated film also titled Anastasia that came and went quickly in the late 1990s. I liked it more than I expected to. (It had a great sequence where she has memories of better days and suddenly in her mind all the old paintings in the palace come to life. It was quite something.)<br /><br />It made me curious, so when this Anastasia was being shown on TV around the same time I made sure to sit down and watch it. I liked this version, too. I remember the scene with the dowager Empress impressed me quite a bit.<br /><br />Of course, neither film could be made now without ignoring reality.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
