Best courtroom drama ever!

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2013)

A courtroom drama is a courtroom drama,but you would be hard pressed to find one better than this classic.It is well played from top to bottom.We were on the doorstep of the Civil Rights movement in the early 60's when this film was produced and released,and it no doubt helped move things along in the cause.Gregory Peck is in the top of his form as Atticus Finch,and he is supported well,particularly by Brock Peters as the wrongly accused Tom Robinson,and young Mary Badham as Scout.It's a pity we didn't see her more often in more roles.Just my opinion,but this is quite simply the best courtroom drama ever made.A must see.
