약력
Though born in Czechoslovakia, actor Karel Stepanek was generally regarded as a German actor due to his extensive film work in Germany (as Karl Stepanek) in the years before World War II. Stepanek fled to England in 1940, where, like many European refugee actors, he specialized in portraying Teutonic villains. He tried to stay away from out-and-out Nazi roles, but his predilection for wearing black uniforms and barking out guttural commands left little doubt as to the political preferences of Stepanek's screen characters. One of his most typical characterizations could be found in the 1946 POW drama, The Captive Heart; Stepanek also registered well as a friendlier foreigner in The Fallen Idol (1949). Commuting between London and Hollywood, Karel Stepanek continued to fight World War II, usually on the wrong side, into such '60s films as Sink the Bismarck! (1960), I Aim at the Stars (1960) and Operation Crossbow (1965).
Over one hour of black-and-white location footage and interviews with the stars and director, all staged outdoors in manifestly frigid conditions. Mann talks about his filmmaking philosophy and the challenges of shooting in such rugged locations, and shares his insights on the Douglas-Harris feud:Harris projects a refreshing honesty and cheeky charm in his interview segment, even asking himself a question at one point! Douglas is equally charismatic, if a little more calculated in his awareness of the camera.

배경은 1920년대 후반의 프랑스 파리. 제정 러시아 시대의 장군 부닌(율 브리너)은 러시아 혁명 후 국외 추방된 신세. 어느날 그는 자살을 시도하는 여인(잉그리드 버그만)을 구출하는데, 그녀가 공주 아나스타샤를 꼭 닮았다는 사실에 깜짝 놀란다. 공주 아나스타샤는 러시아 로마노프 왕조의 마지막 짜르 니콜라스의 딸이다. 혁명 후에 공주의 행방이 묘연했기에 그는 그녀가 공주일지도 모른다고 생각하지만, 그녀 자신은 기억상실증에 빠졌는지 자신의 신상에 대해 아무것도 기억하지 못한다. 그러자 부닌 장군은 그녀가 가짜라고 해도 아나타스탸 공주로 완벽하게 위장시켜 러시아 왕족이 유럽으로 빼돌린 재산을 가로챌 사기를 계획한다. 즉 아나스타샤의 신용으로 영국 은행에 예치돼 있는 천만 파운드의 돈을 인출할 수 있다는 계산이다. 부닌 장군의 이 계획에서 가장 큰 걸림돌은 실제 아나스타샤를 잘 아는 왕후 도웨이저(헬렌 헤이스)가 생존해 있다는 것. 왕후의 의심의 눈초리를 피하기 위해 부닌 장군은 기억상실증에 걸린 그 여자를 아나스타샤보다 더 아나스타샤답게 보이도록 교육시킨다. 그런데 이상하게도 그녀는 곧잘 러시아 왕실의 세세한 법도나 디테일한 사항을 기억해내 율 브리너를 당황에 빠뜨린다. 그녀가 진짜 아나스타샤일지도 모른다는 암시가 깔리고, 이들은 서서히 사랑하는 사이가 된다. 마침내 이들은 그녀의 정체를 확인하기 위해 친할머니를 찾아가게 된다. 이 영화의 가장 큰 매력은 세기의 미녀배우 잉그리드 버그만이 할리우드에 복귀해서 찍은 작품이라는 것. 그 몇년 동안 잉그리드 버그만은 이태리 네오리얼리즘의 거장 로베르토 로셀리니와 스캔들에 가까운 사랑에 빠져 큰 지탄을 받고 유럽으로 쫓겨갔던 처지였다. 찍는 영화마다 족족 흥행실패했던 그녀지만 이 영화의 성공으로 원래의 인기를 회복하며, 1957년 아카데미 여우주연상과 골든글로브 여우주연상을 수상했다.

The delightful Johann Strauss comic opera Die Fledermaus was mercilessly lampooned in this truly bizarre production. For starters, a framing device has been added: After appearing in 300 consecutive appearances of Fledermaus (which translates as The Bat) the lead tenor (Georg Alexander) imagines that he's seeing bats everywhere. Driven a bit over the edge by all this, he falls asleep and has a nightmare about the opera, with a group of non-singers cast in the leading roles. The original libretto about romantic assignations, political imprisonments and mistaken identity is burlesqued to the hilt: at one point, the hero finds out that his prison cell is surrounded by rubber tubes!
