Still the best version of Anne Frank's Diary - The Diary of Anne Frank review by PV
Still the best version by far of this tragic story. Very tense and watchable.
Some have complained about the editing of Anne's diary to leave out the sexy bits and possible lesbian themes - but that is a very modern obsession.
The sheer fear and threat and tragedy here does not need anything more.
Shelley Winters won best supporting actress Oscar for this, for the rather Noo Yoik jewish wife character. Just over a decade later. she was famously in the Posedeiden Adventure, going for a swim underwater to save everyone - again.
All kids should be forced to watch this to be honest, and other films about the holocaust, especially now when disgracefully people are denying it and anti-Semitism is on the rise again, from the left especially, the socalled 'progressives'. Tss.
5 stars.
