Powerful, moving, a masterpiece.

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 1999)

This is one of the great all-time movies. It is incredibly moving for you see the total negligence of a black man's innocence in South America and yet, you have Gregory Peck trying to educate his children, especially his daughter (brilliantly played by Mary Badham), against racial discrimination. This is one of the most under-rated movies ever with one of the greatest under-rated actors, Gregory Peck, and it's wrong to under-rate him; he's a very very very good actor.
The movie is filled with power, sadness, and an excellent look at racism in South America. I would say the ending with Robert Duvall standing behind the door and then Mary Baham takes his hand and goes outside with him on the swing is one of the prettiest, saddest, most powerful scenes of all-time. An absolute must-see.
