Litvak served with the United States Army during World war II and joined with fellow director Frank Capra to make the "Why We Fight" film series. Because of Litvak's ability to speak the Russian, German and French languages, he played a key role as the head of the army's photography division responsible for documenting the U.S. D Day landing on Normandy. At the end of the war, he returned to filmmaking and remained active in Hollywood until the mid-1950s when he began filming in Europe. Most notable was his 1956 work shot in Paris titled Anastasia that starred Ingrid Bergman and Yul Brynner. The film was a fictitious imagining of the mystery surrounding the Grand Duchess Anastasia who had supposedly been murdered as a young woman, along with the rest of the Russian royal family in 1918. The film centred around the rumours that the young Grand Duchess had survived her assassination; in the 1990s, such rumours were proven to be false by the discovery of the royals' bodies. However, in the 1950s the movie enjoyed huge commercial success. Helen Hayes, the first Lady of the American Stage, played the Grand Duchess' grandmother, the Empress Marie Feodorovna.
