George Stevens' epic screen adaptation of one of the most moving documents to emerge from World War II - the diary of a thirteen year old Jewish girl, Anne Frank.

To escape the horrors of Nazi persecution, Otto Frank (Joseph Schildkraut) hid with his wife (Gusti Huber) and their two daughters, Anne (Millie Perkins) and Margot (Diane Baker) in a disused Amsterdam attic for two years. Also hiding with them were Mr and Mrs van Daan (Lou Jacobi and Shelley Winters), their son Peter (Richard Beymer) and a dentist, Mr Dussel (Ed Wynn). In her daily journal, Anne recorded the trials and tribulations of the people around her trying to live a normal life in the cramped confines of the tiny attic, whilst under the constant threat of discovery by the Gestapo.

The strain and the almost unbearable tension of their situation is skilfully conveyed in this remarkable and poignant, triple Oscar® winning movie.
