Mulligan's triumph in cinema

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2011)

To Kill a Mockingbird was the only novel Harper Lee ever wrote and it shook the world. The film had much the same impact of the novel with good reason. Peck gives a typically excellent performance as Atticus Finch. The kids are likable in their roles and the character Dill was inspired off Harper Lee's childhood friend Truman Capote! It's personally made, definitely Mulligan's best. He does a fine job of combining 1930's Alabama life and an intense courtroom trial into one even film. Robert Duvall makes an on-screen appearance as the mysterious Boo Radley. One of the best early 60's films and a great adaptation of a great novel.
