30 Dec George Stevens: D-Day to Berlin
(1994) This excellent one-hour documentary was made by the son of a Hollywood filmmaker who headed a special film unit during the war assigned to document the war in Europe. Beginning with D-Day at Normandy to the spectacular liberation of Paris and then to the death camps of Dachau.
George Stevens, Jr. discovered the film, a diary in Kodak color, only after his father died.
He noted that before the war his father liked to make light-hearted comedies, but after the war his movies were more serious. In 1959, George Stevens, Sr. directed “The Diary of Anne Frank.”
