The movie tells the harrowing story of a young Jewish girl, Anne, who, with her family and their friends, is forced into hiding in an attic in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. Anne Frank keeps a diary of everyday life, chronicling the Nazi threat as well as family dynamics.
Mr. Stevens has done a superb job of putting upon the screen the basic drama and shivering authenticity of the Frances Goodrich-Albert Hackett play, which in turn caught the magnitude of drama in the real-life diary of a Jewish girl.

More valuable as historical than artistic work, George Stevens' reverential Broadway-to-Hollywood transfer is marred by the weak lead performance from Millie Perkins.

The strength of both families in the face of such frightening conditions provides the film with a moral center and tragic power that overcome its minor weaknesses.
