This Soviet version stars Russian superstar Tatyana Samojlova in the title role, with Aleksandr Zharki helming. An epic at 145 minutes, the film demanded two years of shooting in full color 70mm widescreen. The film has a respectable 7.1 on IMDB. Bolshoi ballet star Maia Plisetskaya plays the seemingly kind Princess who at first helps Anna, and then turns her back on her.
