Robert Mulligan's classic adaptation of Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, set in the racially charged atmosphere of Macon County, Alabama in the 1930s, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is a poignant coming-of-age story. Winner of four Academy Awards including Best Screenplay (written by Horton Foote), and Best Actor (Gregory Peck), TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is a timeless film packed with beautiful scenes and meaningful life lessons. The story is told from the vantage point of a young girl nicknamed Scout (Mary Badham) whose widowed white father Atticus Finch (Peck), an attorney, decides on principle to defend a black man (Brock Peters) charged with raping a poor white woman. But the bigoted townspeople would rather lynch the accused than try him, and they make life hellish for the lawyer, his daughter, and his son Jem (Philip Alford). While their father is in the throes of the trial, his bright, inquisitive children learn a hard and unforgettable lesson in justice, morality, and prejudice, part of which requires overcoming an unfounded fear of their mysterious neighbor Boo Radley (Robert Duvall).
Cast:
"Philip Alfrod was four years older than Mary Badham when both gave unforgettable performances here as Gregory Peck's children..."
-- Mike Clark
, (USA Today)
"...With Peck in Oscar-winning form and Duvall in his big-screen debut, the acting is powerful yet carefully measured..." -- Emma Rowley , (Total Film) "...[An] affecting adaptation..." -- Geoffrey Macnab , (Sight and Sound) "...MOCKINGBIRD has influenced Southern-fried films like SLING BLADE, as well as every courtroom drama since..." -- Entertainment Weekly Staff , (Entertainment Weekly) "Peck won an Oscar for his layered, level-headed portrayal..." -- Premiere Staff , (Premiere) "[T]hose who value this nostalgic evocation of tough-love parenthood and small-town values will find this set a worthy object of devotion." -- Dave Kehr , (New York Times)
