The diary of Anne Frank / 20th Century Fox ; screenplay by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett ; produced and directed by George Stevens.

Publication | Library Call Number: DVD-0349

An extraordinary portrayal of humanity set during one of history's most inhumane periods. Features Millie Perkins as the insightful 13 year old biographer of her family's two-year hiding in an Amsterdam attic. At first, the strong-willed teenager embraces her fugitive lifestyle as an adventure. But in time, the ever-increasing fear of discovery and close quarters prove nearly unbearable for the eight personalities in hiding.
