I remember the 1986 mini-series, Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna, with Amy Irving, which I think was just the story of Anna Anderson, without any additional helping con artist. Wikipedia says it had Rex Harrison as Grand Duke Cyril, who I certainly remember, but not that he was Rex Harrison, and Olivia de Havilland as the Dowager Empress.

I just had to review a (Swedish) biography of Finland's Marshal Mannerheim and when he's in the Chevalier Guard, he is popular with Empress Maria Feodorovna because he can talk to her in Swedish and she is missing Denmark. I had to look her up because I hadn't connected the Danish princess married to the Tsar with the formidable exiled Last of the Romanovs.
