Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Top Ten classic
"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a powerful, hugely well-acted film that should be on everyone's Top Ten and should be in every film collection. The book took me for a ride as a child, one of those rare books we were made to read in school that I could not put down; the film, with exemplary performances by Gregory Peck, Mary Badham and Brock Peters, is a searing treatise on social mores of the time and it still speaks to us today. We have not come all that far from the era portrayed in the film, and it should be shown in schools; it is that good.

Scout (Mary Badham), a precocious child, runs pretty much unchecked through the small Southern town in which she is raised, tolerated by the townsfolk because her father is Atticus Finch, a well-respected attorney; and really, she is looked upon with affection by most, who feel sorry for her because her mother died. She only has time to ruminate on that occasionally, as she and her older brother Jem, and a visiting boy there for the summer, get into all sorts of adventures against the backdrop of her father's preparing to defend a local black man on trial for the alleged rape of a young white woman. There are those in town who can smell a frame clearly enough, but this is the South, and a charge brought by a white against a black is going to have dismally predictable results. Atticus, who knows his client is innocent, forges ahead anyway, facing down intimidation and threats to his children, and building up the film to a crescendo of an ending. The ending of the movie - and scattered references throughout the film - introduced us, also, to Robert Duvall, as he just began his film career; and though his part is small, it is wrenchingly powerful.

The highest recommendation possible. Everyone should own this movie, in whatever form you can get it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - DVD To kill a mockingbird
I recently read the book, "To kill a mockingbird" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I know it is required reading in most high schools, but I've never had the opportunity and I'm 61 years old!
After reading the book, I just HAD to have the DVD so I could watch it anytime I wished.
The DVD was excellent! Of course, it is in black & white, but nevertheless, very well done. The video did not follow the book entirely, a few things were left out, but all in all. It is a great DVD!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - to kill a mockingbird
This is my favorite movie of all times. It arrived on time and in great condition.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very Pleased with DVD and Seller!
What an impressive story and movie. Gregory Peck is impressive and gives a great performance. I read the book years ago and was so pleased to see the movie is so well produced. Highly recommend the dvd and book. Was great to watch with my teenagers. They caught every turn in the theme and was disgusted with the social injustice that occured.
