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.

Why We Rated This Appropriate for Ages 12 and UP
What to watch out for
- Violence:
Scout gets into schoolyard brawls with classmates. Jem is attacked, mostly off screen, and his arm broken by someone stalking him and Scout. The threat of violence is portrayed through menacing looks and nighttime shadows.
- Messages
- Sex:
A man is falsely accused of rape.
- Consumerism:
Not an issue.
- Drugs:
Not an issue.
- Language:
None, except for a harsh racial epithet against African-Americans, used by an obvious bigot.
What Parents Need to Know
About To Kill a Mockingbird
Parents need to know that young children will identify with Scout, but the material might be more than you would want your kid to take in. Preteens will like the story, but mature themes may be confusing for them -- a post-video discussion is advised.
Families Can Talk About
Families can talk about the prejudice depicted in the movie, which is set in 1930s Alabama. What has changed in the United States since the 1930s when it comes to race, and do you think racism still exists today? How has the media's depiction of racism and people of varying races changed over the years? What role can/should the media play in fighting issues like racism?
