    Editorial Reviews

    With its integrity, poetry, and depth of feeling, Robert Mulligan’s To Kill a Mockingbird stands alongside On the Waterfront and The Grapes of Wrath in the ranks of Hollywood's most enduring and beloved message films. Gregory Peck earned an Academy Award for his performance as Atticus Finch, a southern lawyer of consummate tenderness and a sterling sense of justice who defends a local black man charged with raping a white woman. With passions aroused in the small, Depression-era southern town, Atticus finds his safety threatened along with that of his two children, six-year-old Scout (Mary Badham) and ten-year-old Jem (Phillip Alford). Based on Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird was adapted for the screen by another respected southern scribe, Horton Foote (Tender Mercies), whose screenplay was also recognized with an Oscar. Mulligan manages to capture the steamy, drowsy atmosphere of a southern summer, while Foote movingly translates for the screen Lee's troubling story about childhood innocence forever altered by a brush with adult cruelty and injustice. Among the many pleasures afforded by this remarkable film are the memorable performances of child stars Badham, Alford, and John Megna, who plays a character based upon Lee's own precocious childhood playmate, Truman Capote. A gorgeous opening title sequence, Elmer Bernstein's lyrical musical score, and the film debut of Robert Duvall, in a small but unforgettable role as "Boo" Radley, round out this thoughtful, affecting film.

    August 24, 2009: I must admit that I was initially wary of watching this movie. TKAM is my favorite book and I have seen too many book adaptations that deviate far, far from the original story. I wouldn't like to see TKAM filmed that way but curiousity got the better of me and I went to the video store to purchase a DVD. I was very happy and contented with my decision. I must say that from the very start, this movie struck a deep chord of approval and sprung some very precious emotions from me. The opening sequence and the music was just so perfect. I take my hat off to the great Elmer Bernstein and his genius. The opening sequence focused on a child's world which in my mind, is the very essence of the novel.

    The excellence of this movie was the whole congruity and the coming together of all the film's elements; the cinematography was right, the music doesn't override or overpower the scenes, instead it blends perfectly; the actors all did a very fine job and the screenplay was generally faithful to the novel. I know that Harper Lee herself supervised some of the movie's scenes.

    I do believe that Gregory Peck rightfully deserves the best actor Oscar. The kids were also great; they all looked their part and were very natural.Mary Badham, Philip Alford and John Megna were casted perfectly for their roles. Mary was even nominated for the Oscar Best actress at that time. She was one of the youngest ever to be nominated for the award. I must also commend the supporting cast especially Rober Duvall who played the role of Boo Radley. It was in this movie that he made his screen debut and albeit his very brief part, he was immensely effective. I have read that to look the part of a photophobic recluse, he had to stay indoors for weeks and dye his hair blond!

    I recommend this movie for everyone, especially the whole family. Robert Mulligan did a fine job of directing and Horton Foote made the perfect screenplay. This film, like the book, will arouse in its viewers a feeling of fun, excitement and ultimately, a sense of indescribable sadness. It makes you want to be a child again and it reminds you of what grown-ups must do to preserve the innocence of childhood.

    May 07, 2009: I teach a Special Day Class for diploma bound students on a public high school campus. Although I would prefer that all my students read the book, I receive and lose students constantly during the semester, so I use the video for students who arrive during our reading or after the class has read the book and is discussing it.

    I also leave a copy in the class library for any student who may have missed reading the book or for any student who wishes to share the story with his/her family.
