Story Synopsis:
The Diary Of Anne Frank is George Stevens’ film adaptation of the play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett based on the book Anne Frank: The Diary Of A Young Girl and produced on the stage by Kermit Bloomgarsen and directed by Garson Kanin. Anne Frank is the iconic child whose diary remains the definitive Holocaust victim’s testament. The story depicts a teenage girl and seven other fugitives who hide from the Nazis for two years in the attic of an old spice factory in Amsterdam.
LaserDisc Picture:
The scope image has been recomposed at 2.28:1 from a print element. Black and white shadow detail is mediocre but the dark brooding images are dramatically effective. Artifacts, grain and noise are evident throughout.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtracks includes Alfred Newman original overture, entr’acte and exit music, however the sound is dated.
