4/4  A classic that deserves to be seen over and over!!
A neglected classic, that needs and deserves to be seen a lot more than it is. No other film or series, with the possible exception of The Waltons, has got as close to the heart and soul of rural America as this one.Gregory Peck, in his fi... (read full)

Fantastic american film with great acting and a great script. It seems to be naive at the beginning but is at the same time strong. One of those to watch over and over again.

4/4  To Kill a Mockingbird Quick Review
Based on a great novel, it turns into a great film. Gregory Peck could not be a more perfect choice to play Atticus Finch - as if he was born specifically for this role. The message the film sends is pertinant for every generation.

5/5 To Kill a Mockingbird
  by Jerry L. Lambeth (NC)
Great movie, Gregory Peck at his best. Shows just how injust our system was at that time in history...and at times is still. Great story line, simple yet made interesting. Must have for old black & white, no sex, no profanity, good clean entertainment. Hollywood at it's best. They don't make them like this anymore, sad.

5/5 a classic!
  by S. Webb (southwest Ohio)
I had seen the movie MANY years before and decided to check out a copy of the book from our local library. What a good read! I was curious about the movie so bought it from Amazon. The movie is amazing and follows the book very closely. My husband had never seen the movie and was riveted by it. Gregory Peck captures Atticus' demeanor to a t!

5/5 Must See for Moral Truths
  by Leland G. Griffin Jr. (Muskogee, OK USA)
Harper Lee's novel, on which the screenplay for this film is based, is one of the very finest American novels. The film is as fine as the book. The storyline follows the lives of three children, playmates in an small fictional Alabama County seat town (Maycomb in Maycomb County) where Atticus Finch, an attorney and father of two of the children is working to defend a black man who is falsely accused of the rape of a white woman. The story deals with honor and dishonor, racism, hatred, bigotry and redeeming love. It treats with gentle irony and profound moral insight the legal, social and spiritual issues of cruel poverty and heroic moral courage when that poverty, together with stupidity and moral cowardice call for taking the right course even when there is no possibility of victory. It is a story of the triumph of decency and grace where both are out of keeping with old codes and evil assumptions. It is a call for courage and a call for courage.

5/5 To Kill a Mockingbord
  by P. J. McDonald (Portland, Oregon)
Finally--reading a classic I have long ignored. Not purposely, but simply because life got in the way--raising a family, working two jobs, dealing with setbacks and disappointment, trying always to rise above the roadblocks, to make it all worthwhile, and even have some fun, along the way. There were years when my passion for reading took a back seat to being a wife, a mom, a part of the work force that keeps society moving, money in the bank account. Reading never stopped, but time became a luxury I often had to steal for an occasional book. Today, when I might have three books going at once, plus all the internet information I can devour, bliss is mine. Now, as I read To Kill a Mockingbird, I'm beyond sad that this feast was denied me so long. Given the current, woeful state of the world, of national politics, reading this book has provided me a deeper well of comprehension of racial realities of which I was aware, certainly, which offended me, throughout my life. But this small jewel of a book has cracked my mind open in a way nothing else ever has, driving home again the immense power of books to reveal, to define reality clearly, in yet another light. I will be giving this book as gifts for a very long time.
