Sometimes I can watch these movies and sometimes it’s hard. Of course I read the books and took the tour of the house in Amsterdam.
I have an anger burning in me every day somewhere because of what they did to my good great-grandparents, among other relatives.
The 1950’s Hollywood version “The Diary of Anne Frank” is a mixed bag, in my opinion. Millie Perkins was too old (age 21) to play the 13-year-old Anne and didn’t look a thing like her, especially with her model looks and false eyelashes. Worst casting EVER in a movie. She came across whiny and obnoxious and a big chunk of the movie was devoted to her flirting with the attic boy. I think they could have done a better job telling Anne’s story.
