Gregory Peck Spot on as Atticus

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2019)

"To Kill a Mockingbird" as a book is unparalleled. The movie is a solid rendition and I suppose that's the best we could hope to get.
Gregory Peck was superb as Atticus Finch. He was a picture of stoicism, patience, and forbearance. Atticus is a calm, mild-mannered, cerebral man that is very much out of place in Maycomb County, Alabama but very much respected. Gregory Peck very much embodied that.
Almost nothing Atticus does complies to social norms from his child rearing up to his most difficult task of defending a black man accused of raping a white woman. He wasn't quite radical in his counter-societal thoughts and behavior but his subtle stances spoke volumes. Of all of the actor selections his was most spot on.
