The diary of anne frank
The Diary of Anne Frank is a 1980 American made-for-television biographical drama film which originally aired on NBC on November 17, 1980. Like the 1959 film of the same name, the screenplay was written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett and directed by Boris Sagal. Unlike the 1959 film, the TV-film focuses more on character development than suspense, and is considerably shorter than the 1959 version.
Contents
Scott Jacoby, the actor portraying Peter Van Daan in this film, is the real-life grandson of Lou Jacobi, who portrayed Hans Van Daan, Peter's father, in the 1959 film. The family is of Jewish descent.
Melissa Gilbert plays Anne but is best known for her portrayal of Laura Ingalls Wilder in the 1970s drama Little House on the Prairie.
The TV remake received mixed reviews leaving out the restriction of the Jewish faith, as well as the scene where Ann is told by her father to stay away from the windows in order to be avoided of being spotted by the green police.
