It is war oriented- but also touches a variety of other genres, espionage, intrigue, Romance, psychological drama- I am speaking of her Highness, Anastasia. It is certainly a powerful anti-war film- as the Revolution murdered her entire family with the exception of ( outside-war zone)- Empress Marie who was living in Denmark at the time. Somewhat oddly Queen Marie of Romania- who knew Anastasia personally, does not figure in either the Brynner-Bergman or the cartoon version of the story. She was Anastasia's aunt, so does merit some attention.
