THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK (1959) 1.30PM, BBC2

U ● ★★★★

The powerful story of Anne Frank receives the cinematic treatment, having first been adapted as a stage play. There are scenes that bring home the boredom the refugees faced during their long confinement, but all eyes and ears are on Millie Perkins, who is superb as Anne.

★★★★ This glitzy crime comedy is a lot of fun, played for pure indulgence and enjoyment rather than grit or authenticity – and it’s based on a true story. Crazy Rich Asians star Constance Wu and Jennifer Lopez (left) are strippers and best friends Destiny and Ramona, who, when economic downturn hits, find another – less legal – way to extract money from men.

GET OUT 11.10PM, CH4

★★★★ This Oscar-winning horror from Jordan Peele (Us, Nope) is a twist on Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner. British actor Daniel Kaluuya stars as Chris, who is welcomed a little too eagerly into the creepy family of his white girlfriend.

THE EIGER SANCTION (1975)15u

12.10AM, BBC1 ★★★★ Clint Eastwood swaps the Wild West for icy mountain backdrops in this thriller. He’s a secret government assassin climbing in the Alps to chase a killer. Top marks for nailbiting action and breathtaking visuals.
