Mr. Laurents and Mr. Litvak have realized and exposed the three fascinating facets of the fictionalized episode. The first is sheer melodrama: a plot by Russian expatriates to present a woman as the lost Anastasia to claim a fabulous inheritance. The second is stimulating mystery: is the woman presented truly she, or is she an innocent imposter with supernatural memory? And the third is genuine human drama, touched with inevitable romance: it is the drama of intimate feelings, torn by vicissitudes.... Miss Bergman's performance as the heroine is nothing short of superb as she traces the progress of a woman from the depths of derangement and despair through a struggle with doubt and delusion to the accomplishment of courage, pride and love. It is a beautifully molded performance, worthy of an Academy Award and particularly gratifying in the light of Miss Bergman's long absence from commendable films.
