30 Dec The Diary of Anne Frank
The Diary of Anne Frank, WWII Movie starring Millie Perkins
(1959) This is such a wonderful movie, and what an influence the life of this little girl has had all over the world.
I am glad that before I watched it (first time since I was in high school) I watched director George Steven’s: D-Day to Berlin.
As TCM’s Robert Osborne explained, after Stevens filmed the Dachau death camp he admitted that he was never the same. Before beginning this movie, he gathered his cast together and showed them the Dachau footage.
Shelley Winters received an Oscar for her performance and donated it to the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam.
