Wonderful movie

Rating: Null/10 (30 August 2004)

To Kill a Mockingbird is on my top 3 movies everyone must see. It is the best faithful adaptation of a book that I have ever watched. Gregory peck captures Atticus Finch perfectly. Maycomb is actually Monroeville, Alabama. I know because I grew up in Alabama and actually had the pleasure of meeting Harper Lee. There actually was a "Boo Radley" in Monroeville, so that part of the book is based on fact. There was no trial of that sort in Monroeville, but those sorts of trials were all too common in the South, and elsewhere. The character of Dill is actually Truman Capote who spent his summers with a maiden aunt in Monroeville. I urge everyone to first READ THE BOOK and then see this movie. I watch it every time it is on TV. It is simply wonderful
