Oh Man...What A Classic
Not often does a film adaptation nearly surpass a novel's greatness, but this film almost does. It's so carefully directed and handled with such obvious respect for the source material that even on the umpteenth viewing, the many layers of talent still spring forth out of your television screen. Without a doubt Gregory Peck's signature role, he shines as Atticus Finch. The kids give great performances as well, and you find yourself believing this is the actual south; not a film set in Southern California. If you haven't seen this film yet, you have not seen one of cinema's greatest achievements in adaptation.
