He agrees to defend a young black man who is accused of raping a white woman. Many of the townspeople try to get Atticus to pull out of the trial, but he decides to go ahead. How will the trial turn out - and will it change any of the racial tension in the town ?

Another great movie off of another great book. I was initially forced to read/watch To Kill A Mockingbird back in grade school, but it quickly became one of my all-time favorite books.

Great Movie!

One of the best movies of all time.

Robert Duvall's first role, and what a memorable one it is.

Probably one of the finest lead male performances in the history of American cinema as well, by Gregory Peck.

Robert Duvall's first role, and what a memorable one it is.

Wow, I didn't know that. I'll have to revisit this one. I haven't seen it since watching it in middle school.

Robert Duvall played Boo Radley--great, great movie. It's why Gregory Peck is one of my all-time favorite actors.
