A classic

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2004)

If you love classic films then this one is not to be missed. Gregory Peck is at his best as is the entire cast including Robert Duvall in his screen debut. Duvall plays the next door neighbor that everyone is afraid of except Scout, Aticus' daughter who steals the film. It's a story of racism in the south during the early 60's and how one man, Aticus Finch (Gregory Peck) helps to bring a small town together when he defends a black man accused of raping and murdering a white woman. This film ranks up there with Citizen Kane and others that are considered to be the best of all time. I can't recommend this film enough. If you don't enjoy this film and Peck's performance, then you just can't appreciate fine film making. They just don't get any better than this one.
