DVD Reviews of The Diary of Anne Frank
DVD Review: Sensitive Movie on the short life of a Holocaust victim
Summary: 4 Stars
Movie is almost all filmed in one building, the factory where the Jewish family hides for two years. The set closely resembles the actual building located in Amsterdam right off the Amstel River - and the book shelf that they hide behind.
It centers around the dreams and aspirations of a young girl who has to be taken from her home, her school and friends to hide while others are being hauled off to concentration camps. The family is joined by another family plus a dentist and the 8 people plus a cat all live in the small 5-6 rooms in an annex above a factory that Mr. Frank owns. They suffer through the stresses of maintaining quiet throughout the work day so no one below will hear them, through the sounds of sirens, always thinking they have been found out, through the worry of not getting food from the only four people who know where they are hidden, and through the stress of living too close together with no place to escape the arguing and problems of a young girl trying to grow up.
Very good film and well-acted. Burt Reynolds in NOT in this film, although. Don't know why he is listed here as an actor.
DVD Review: Lovely Adaptation of Diary of Anne Frank
Summary: 5 Stars
Every year, my literature class at school ends with a unit on the Holocaust. I bought this video to play to my students to conclude the unit. The video remains very true to the Diary, and it was entertaining enough to hold the interest of my students. They would watch somewhat casually at first, but by the middle to the end, they were totally captured by the gravity of the situation being portrayed.
I am glad to have the movie as an addition to my curriculum.
DVD Review: Great historical movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
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 her "diary" back in the loft where the families existed for 3 years before being found by Nazis.
Heart wrenching but endearing. I have watched this over and over. Those people wishing to "delete" the holacaust from history should watch this movie and actually READ the diary!
DVD Review: Awesome movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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! DVD Review: The Diary of Anne Frank
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Description of The Diary of Anne Frank
A diary discovered in the attic of an Amsterdam factory reveals the plight of a jewish refugee family that lived there in hiding for two years during the Nazi occupation.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
