Amazon.com essential video:
George Stevens (Giant) directed this 1959 film adaptation of the hit play based on the writings of Anne Frank, the Jewish girl from Amsterdam who hid in an attic with her family and others during the Nazi occupation. As Anne, Millie Perkins is something of a milky eyed enigma and--in retrospect--too old for the part; but she is surrounded by an outstanding cast, including Joseph Schildkraut as Anne's patient father, Ed Wynn as a cranky dentist who moves into Anne's "room," and Shelley Winters as the loud Mrs. Van Daan. Stevens turns the many overlapping dramas of the caged characters into the foundation of Anne's growth as a young woman, ready for life and love just at the moment the dream comes to an end. Beautifully shot by cinematographer William C. Mellor, and written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett from their stage production. --Tom Keogh

- Great historical movie!
I watched this as a kid with my parents.THIS IS A TRUE STORY of the MOST FAMOUS JEW put to death by Hitler in WWII.The movie shows the "blossoming" of a pre-teen girl into a 16 yr old young woman.Millie Perkins and the rest of the cast brought this to life and meaning that we all can understand. The story ends as her family is found and taken to the prison camps, so you don't see that part of history.The end is a "verbal review" of what happened during that time by Mr. Frank as he discovers ...

Rating: - Awesome movie!!
What an awesome movie this was!!We're going to be going to Washington, D.C. this spring and this movie will make the Holocaust museum so much more meaningful. It was very suspenseful, riveting and you could have heard a pin drop in our house during it. Don't miss it!

- The Diary of Anne Frank
This is the original film, circa 1959. It closely follows the play. It's a bit cold and rigid, with the actors delivering their lines stiffly. I was especially interested in Otto Frank since I was recently cast in that part for the theatre version. I found Ben Kingsley's version in the remake of the late 90's to be much more real, but I'm glad I watched this version too.
Rating: - Effectively captures the fear of the times, but not a faithful adaptation
