Gregory Peck won an Oscar for his brilliant performance as the Southern lawyer who defends a black man accused of rape in this film version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The way in which it captures a time, a place, and above all, a mood, makes this film a masterpiece. The setting is a dusty Southern town during the Depression. A white woman accuses a black man of rape. Though he is obviously innocent, the outcome of his trial is such a foregone conclusion that no lawyer will step forward to defend him except Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck), the town's most distinguished citizen. His compassionate defense costs him many friendships but earns him the respect and admiration of his two motherless children.

Only one white man stood up for an innocent black man who ended up dying anyways. This movie was made at a time when racism was way worse than it is today, so I can imagine what the white community thought about it (mind you, I'm white and southern, so no racism there). The movie itself left out quite a bit of material that was in the book, but I guess they didn't want the movie to be exactly like the book. Despite that, This is still a fantastic movie that everyone should watch at some point in their lives.

A wonderful book and a wonderful movie. Gregory Peck makes the handsomest and sweetest Atticus, and Scout and Jem and Boo are all so wonderfully captured. I love this story and her characters far too much to let it go, even though I first read it as a mandatory novel in my ninth grade English class. It certainly is very old, but done so well and with such class that coming back to it year after year never makes it feel cheesy.

In school, I read the book and did a summary as well as a book report. . This movie is so touching. And so great. Very good for teaching children about the South and what people had to go through, Racism was very strong back then. And this movie has helped a lot of people overcome racism. Thank you for this movie.
