- An excellent portrayal ot Harper Lee's story.
There are not too many film versions of novels which "match-up" to the original in print. This one does a particularly excellent job. It "fleshed out" the characters of Atticus, Scout, Gem and others for me and it did, to me, portray the main storyline: the picture of a father's relations with his children, the community at large as well as contemporary societal issues.

- Worth Every Penny!
I don't know why Harper Lee stopped writing after To Kill A Mockingbird. This two disc DVD edition is worth every penny. The film is a classic starring Oscar Winner, Gregory Peck, in the character that became his signature role. The supporting cast is equally stellar with the children, Jem and Scout. We hear about how the children on the set were invited to the Peck home to spend the weekends. The cast included Ruth White as Mrs. Dubose which her part was cut short in the film than in the book. I have collected a lot of Ruth White memorabilia. She spent four hours in make-up each day. Alice Ghostley plays a neighbor and mother. Mary Badham who played Scout never really became a household name but she does not regret doing the film one bit. Scout is immortalized by her performance as a tough but sensitive young girl. The two disc set features tributes to Gregory Peck from his daughter, Celia Peck, as well as his Oscar winning speech and the AFI tribute to him.

- Well done
I was surprised at how well all the elements came together for this film. Obviously the main cohesion is centered on Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) and his relationship with his children, Scout (Mary Badham) and Jem (Philip Alford). I would classify this as one of Gregory peck's best movies. It almost had to be shot in black and whit to have the feel needed in the all but black and white movie.

Scout and Jem know very little about their neighbor `Boo' (Robert Duvall.) They have heard and made up strange stories. They spend time daring each other and their summer friend, to go up to the neighbor house as it holds some mysterious crazed person. Through the movie many odd things happen such as a tree that mysteriously offers a series of objects from marbles to a watch, among other things. What do we really know about our neighbors? Watch as the mystery unfolds. And what will they find out in this slice of life in the Depression-era South.
