Review of The Diary of Anne Frank (1959) by Jacob F — 07 May 2015

I personally have not seen the play yet but I will within the next 10 days. I just watched this film on a friday night and after reading the play, I can easily say it is well adapted. I personally love the style of the 1950s but think it fits perfectly with this story, too. Anne and the 8 others trying to be as hopeful and optimistic in a world of terror and death camps for anybody hitler didn't like, especially jews. I enjoyed it although it was very long and anne and peter look like 30 year olds, still great. just remember in your mind anne is 13, peter is 16, margot is 15 I believe all in 1942.

I also must add the fact that this movie has great cinematography but lots of long dissolving shots. If you hate long transitions in large quantities you may get annoyed.
