Biography

René Hubert fait des études aux Beaux-arts de Paris avant de se retrouver à Hollywood en 1925, où il est imposé par Gloria Swanson à la Paramount pour créer, pour la première fois, les costumes du film Madame Sans-Gêne. Il travaillera encore avec elle dans plusieurs films, Stage Struck, Indiscreet, Music in the Air. Dès 1927, il fait un passage à la MGM pour concevoir les costumes de Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Marion Davies entre autres… Dans les années trente, il retourne en Europe et travaille notamment sur les films de René Clair et pour la London Film Productions… En 1941, René Clair, alors exilé à Hollywood, le réclame pour La Belle ensorceleuse où il pare Marlène Dietrich de robes éblouissantes. La 20th Century Fox le sollicitera encore pendant plus de 20 ans et René Hubert habillera les plus grandes stars du studio spécialement dans des films d’époque. Gene Tierney dans Le ciel peut attendre et Le Château du Dragon, Jennifer Jones dans Le Chant de Bernadette, Joan Fontaine dans Jane Eyre, Betty Grable et tout particulièrement Linda Darnell dont il saura sublimer toute la beauté dans ces films les plus célèbres comme Hangover Square, La Poursuite infernale ou encore Ambre.

Ten years of turmoil have passed since the teenage Anastasia and her family (parents, sisters and brother) were presumed to have been killed by Bolshevik revolutionaries. Does the refugee Anna who has turned up in Paris have the bearing, speech, and intimate knowledge of the imperial family that the real grand duchess would have? Or is she merely a recovering amnesiac with a striking resemblance who has been cleverly groomed by the émigré General Bounine (Brynner) to stake a claim to 10 million pounds left by the Tsar in an English bank? In a series of encounters with former familiars and members of the imperial court, Anna begins to display a confidence and style that astonish her skeptical interlocutors, yet retains our sympathy by seeming more interested in recovering her own identity than the imperial bank account. In a climactic meeting with the Empress in Copenhagen, Anna and the Empress take the measure of each other, alternately projecting imperial self-possession and the anguish of family longing. Meanwhile, Bounine has become increasingly jealous of the attentions the fortune-hunting Prince Paul pays to Anna. At a grand ball at which her engagement to Paul is to be announced, the Empress has a private word with Anna/Anastasia, who subsequently elopes with Bounine.
