To Kill a Mockingbird

His portrayal of Atticus Finch, an indomitable lawyer who defends a black man falsely charged with rape in the Depression-era South, earned Gregory Peck an Oscar. The cast of this cinema classic, skillfully adapted from Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, includes Robert Duvall in his film debut and Brock Peters as the accused. “Mockingbirds don't do one thing…but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.” Harper Lee
