There are many compliments, and comments I can give about this film since it's so great. The acting is superb, each acting is perfect for showing there part of the movie, especially Gregory Peck. The characters are great, and if you've seen AFI's 100 Heroes & Villians Atticus Finch (played by Gregory Peck) is #1 on the list for heroes. The character of Atticus Finch is so great, standing against all the prejudice, and hatred in the world standing along the side of the black man. Not just the book is great, but the screenplay is tremendous, Horton Foote does a great job from getting the characters out of the book and into the movie, and does a great job showing how falsely accused the black man is. The directing is excellent, and producing. Everything is excellent creating one great movie. I would see this right now if you haven't, nobody could refuse this movie at any cost. You may find some parts sad but the children clean that up right away, plus the ending would wipe the record clean. So see this movie and at the end you'll know you haven't wasted $5 on a crappy movie.
