Anastasia
by Guy Bolton

The place is Berlin between two wars, and three unscrupulous white Russians; a prince, an artist and a financier have a scheme to establish an obscure young woman as the Princess Anastasia who, legend has it, escaped assassination in the revolution. If there men can be successful in getting the girl accepted as the Princess, the late Czar’s investments fortune of millions, falls into the hands of these unscrupulous men.
