Amazon.co.uk Review

Ranked 34 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 Greatest American Films, To Kill a Mockingbird is quite simply one of the finest family-oriented dramas ever made. A beautiful and deeply affecting adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee, the film retains a timeless quality that transcends its historically dated subject matter (racism in the Depression-era South) and remains powerfully resonant in present-day America with its advocacy of tolerance, justice, integrity, and loving, responsible parenthood. It's tempting to call this an important "message" movie that should be required viewing for children and adults alike, but this riveting courtroom drama is anything but stodgy or pedantic. As Atticus Finch, the small-town Alabama lawyer and widower father of two, Gregory Peck gives one of his finest performances with his impassioned defense of a black man (Brock Peters) wrongfully accused of the rape and assault of a young white woman. While his children, Scout (Mary Badham) and Jem (Philip Alford), learn the realities of racial prejudice and irrational hatred, they also learn to overcome their fear of the unknown as personified by their mysterious, mostly unseen neighbor Boo Radley (Robert Duvall, in his brilliant, almost completely nonverbal screen debut). What emerges from this evocative, exquisitely filmed drama is a pure distillation of the themes of Harper Lee's enduring novel, a showcase for some of the finest American acting ever assembled in one film, and a rare quality of humanitarian artistry (including Horton Foote's splendid screenplay and Elmer Bernstein's outstanding score) that seems all but lost in the chaotic morass of modern cinema. Universal's Collector's Edition DVD gives this classic all the respect it deserves, offering the film in its original widescreen aspect ratio, a full-length commentary by director Robert Mulligan and producer Alan J. Pakula, informative production notes, and an exclusive documentary about the making of this all-time great American film. Consider this a must for any respectable DVD library. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars Something new every time!, 5 Dec 2007
By James Gallen (St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is another rendition of an American classic. I had seen this movie and read the book in the past, so was there really anything new this time? We watched it as a school project for my daughter. She watched it as a teenager, my wife watched it as a teacher and I watched it as a lawyer and, for tonight, at least, a part-time tutor. We each saw something in it that we had not appreciated before. For me, the courtroom scenes were interesting, but I identified more with Atticus, the father, than Atticus the lawyer. No matter how often you have watched this in the past, you will find something new to admire when you watch it again. Never stop!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, 1 Nov 2007
This is a great movie, and it is one of the bestinterpretations of a novel that I have seen, but like almost everything, I enjoyed the book a little bit more, needless to say I can hardly fault it, and I highly enjoyed it

It is the 1930's and the tale is told through teh eyes of a young girl called Scout. The world around her is filled with racism and prejudice, and Jem ( and her family ) has to struggle to do the right thing in dire circumstances. They enjoy annoying their reclusive neighbour, Boo Radley, and trying to get him to come out of his house, but the most important storyline is that of Atticus ( Scouts Dad ) defending a black man accused of the rape of a white man on trial.

There is nothing much bad to say about the movie, it is well acted, good plot, and nice old fashioned movie, I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but Read the Book !, 27 Mar 2009
By M. Chapple "mcmalago" (Devizes, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not a bad adaptation of Harper Lee's classic (and sadly only) novel, though the high-pitched american children accents detracted from it a bit.

This is a clear case of the book being better than the film, and no surprise - the book is one of the finest and most powerful ever written in my humble opinion, and a must read for anyone and everyone.
