A flawless film

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2002)

An absolutely marvelous interpretation of the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird is a classic. From the black and white photography ( lost art) to the perfect casting nothing is missing from this film.
The movie opens with a child playing with different items: some carvings, a watch, some foil, and with this seemingly innocent beginning the viewer is caught up in a story that not only reflects Alabama of the 1930's, but the real issues with which we still struggle. The story and its theme are timeless.
Casting is superb. Always impressive, Gregory Peck was born for the role of Atticus Finch. The children are perfect, and watch for a young Robert Duvall as the mysterious and touching Boo Radley.
A beautifully made film which has long been at the top of my favorite movies list.
