Not bad. I think Peck is a hottie. Book is very much like the movie. Verbatim at times, even.

Last week, I saw the play “To Kill a Mockingbird” at Toronto’s Mirvish Theatre. It starred Richard Thomas as Atticus Finch. I have now finished watching the Gregory Peck movie in order to discover what happened in the Richard Thomas…

Absolutely one of the best films ever made.

Brilliant acting, poignant story, and according to Peck, his favorite role. Richard Thomas is soon to play Atticus in Portland this month, as the play is on tour. I can't imagine anyone than Peck in this role; it seemed to be made for…

Wonderful, brave movie with great actors based on an unfortunate, timeless story of inequality and racism. Brilliantly written. Americans are rightly proud of the founding fathers’ efforts to provide Justice for all in their country from…

Good movie, watched again after reading the book. Although it handle some parts of the book well, it misses the many nuisances of class (among whites) and attitudes of the book. One commenter mentioned " At the end Scout mentions to her…

Excellent movie. I read the book in high school in the 80's and as a "treat" we got to see the movie after we had taken a test on what we'd read. I didn't appreciate the movie then as I do now, nor did I really know much about Gregory Peck…

This was a good movie! The movie did a pretty good adaption of the book demonstrating how Scout progressed through her childhood and how she developed through life. I understand that the movie could take all of the book into account, but…

1962's "To Kill A Mockingbird" is one of those exceptionally rare, beautifully moving films, that, at times, deeply touches the heart with its insight. Even seen today, nearly 60 years later, this film's power and richness cannot be…

I read this book a few years after it’s release and saw the movie later. I grew up in the south, Tampa Bay Area. Even as a white child I was very much aware of the injustices that fell upon people of color. I never understood why it…

I remember reading the book and watching the movie in high school. Atticus has a wonderful heart and his daughter is so curious at a young age. The ending of the movie definitely gets to you.

This is acting history - the portrayal of Atticus Finch's courtroom speech as he defends the rights of an innocent black man - go down in history as one of the greatest moments caught in a film.

I was looking forward to this after reading the book, but although its considered a classic, the movie was too 50's feeling.

I think people are giving high marks for sentiment, certainly the special effects are lacking, and it's not even in colour! I don't like children, and the main character is one. However, the weird lawyer dad is very likeable, even…

For me the role of ‘Boo’ Radley pushed this movie past being a timely study in Southern racism into a disturbing, enigmatic but hopeful study of human nature. Robert Duvall really brought it home. Who could play Atticus Finch today? A…

I managed to live my entire life (a half-century plus) without having seen, until recently, TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD, the 1960 Harper Lee novel (and Pulitzer winner) about a small Southern town during the Depression and the racism endemic…

If you've never read the novel, or have forgotten parts of the storyline, here it is on DVD. The first three-quarters of the film is mostly living in a small town in the south during the Depression as told through the eyes of a six year…

This is an Academy awards winning drama directed by Robert Mulligan, based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel written by Harper Lee, originally released as a motion picture in 1962. Lee said that "To Kill a Mockingbird" is not an…

Classic, beautiful and timeless. A must watch for all ages, and more relevant than ever.

Gregory Peck was my idle after watching this in Jr. High. The movie is an excellent adaptation of Harper Lee's novel. The racism and childhood insights are well played out by the actors. If only today's young actors could be like Jem and…

A fantastic film based on Harper Lee's novel of the same name. Gregory Peck and Brock Peters give great performances! Be sure to attend Markham Public Library's screening of this film on February 7th at the Thronhill Community…
