For just £7 this is an incredible steal.
George Stevens' production is still my favourite and fortunately for Stevens' and the many fans of his work, he was over-ruled by the studio bosses to shoot the negatives in glorious Cinemascope instead of the standard format usually used for closely shot subjects. The Cinemascope format, as expected, has produced a prestine wide screen presentation. On my 50" plasma, the 3 hour film is beautifully displayed right across the screen with black bars top and bottom. Audio is crisp and well balanced providing 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio which does not spoil the feel of the film.
This beautiful blu ray presentation, with lots of extra interesting and insightful features has made the story of Anne Frank even more accessible and enlightening to new and old fans alike.

Product description
The awesome inhumanity of the Holocaust is brought into agonizingly personal perspective in director George Stevens' adaptation of the 1955 play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, which was based on young Anne Frank's memoirs. Millie Perkins stars as the 13-year-old German Jewish girl, who, with her parents and another family, was sheltered in the attic of an Amsterdam building to escape the Nazis. Joseph Schildkraut, Diane Baker, Lou Jacobi, and Oscar-winner Shelley Winters also star. Theatrical version; 179 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English. Region Free

A wonderful, timeless movie - buy the blu-ray for the extras.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2017Verified Purchase
I watched this on television many years ago and was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it even more this time round. An exceptional cast, especially the wonderful Millie Perkins, and a beautiful musical score by Alfred Newman. The extras on the blu-ray are fascinating and as I write this I am listening to the commentary by George Stevens Jnr and Millie Perkins. A fastastic addition to my film library. A fitting tribute to a very brave girl.

Miscast and disappointing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2011Verified Purchase
I'm an Anne Frank aficionado and was looking forward to watching this, but was unable to sit the whole way through - I tried twice. The fault unfortunately lies, in my view, in the casting of Katharine Schlesinger, who portrays Anne as shrill and unlikeable; the adult characters are much more likeable. Better DVDs are the two later versions - one starring Ben Kingsley as Otto Frank and Hannah Taylor-Gordon as Anne ('Anne Frank - The Whole Story') and the more recent version starring Ellie Kendrick, which in my view is the best.

Newer version is far better.

This original version fails to show what Ann Frank actually did. Still recommended though.

A Timeless Classic
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 August 2010Verified Purchase
What more can be added to all the words written about Anne Frank, the diary, the books, films, television series, documentaries.... Not a lot. A wonderful film of a truly heartbreaking story, beautifully acted, and so evocative of the time and place. The film really captures the clautrophobic environment of the attic, something you really appreciate after you've visited the house, and captures the hopes & dreams of Anne,to become a famous writer, dreams that were never to be fulfilled in her lifetime, but in death, gave her a fame that will live forever.
