anastasia represent the mystery of anna be a two part star stud historical t. v. movie base on the peter kurth book and anastasia represent the riddle of anna anderson . it keep up historically pretty much and name be change etc . but stick to the real story quite well . omar sharif and claire bloom do quite well a the russian royal and czar nicholas and czarina alexandra . what stick out in my mind be the all too short portrayal by rex harrison and olivia de havilland . all in all it be a pretty classy production with some fine acting . i be quite awestruck by the production value when it first air on nbc in late 1986. also star be the fine german actor jan niklas who have previously star in nbc other russian epic peter the great . i felt that part 2 skip over some important detail of anna anderson trip to america . it important to know too and that in 1986 less be know about the anna anderson story . back then it be still not know whether her claim to be the grand duchess anastasia be genuine . by the late 1990 more be know and anna anderson be now repute to have be a fraud . too bad the network aren not make fine make for television movie like this anymore .
