Lady_Targaryen Review of The Diary of Anne Frank

The Diary of Anne Frank (1959)

The first movie produced telling Anne Frank's story

[7/10 · 4 May 2006]

''The Diary of Anne Frank '''is not a bad movie, but I expected more from it. I think the version with Ben Kingsley and Hannah Taylor Gordon is much more interesting then this one. Millie Perkins could not be the Anne I imagined, but the funny thing is that I found her looks very similar to Audrey Hepburn, and when I read in trivia's part that ''Audrey Hepburn was first offered the role of Anne Frank'' I was surprised with the coincidence. I was almost positive that the actors filmed in the real Anex, but I discovered reading the Trivia that it wasn't possible for the crew to be there.[ too many people in a very small place] One of the last scenes, were the the phone keeps ringing and nobody answers it, never happened in the real story. It was in the script to make some tension in the audience.
