The theme and the whole story surrounding Anne Frank's diary are so powerful that the creators would have to be truly incompetent to mess it up. They didn't, and the film is a testament to the fact that Anne Frank's diary can work not only as a book itself but also in this dramatized form, beautifully showcasing the effort to live normally in an environment of claustrophobia and fear.
