In hot, dusty Maycomb County, lawyer Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) takes on the case of an innocent black man accused of assaulting a white girl. He's up against the entrenched racial power structure of the Old South, fierce taboos against interracial sex, and the pride of the girl's impoverished and violent family. The story is told from the perspective of Finch's daughter Scout (Mary Badham), her brother Jem and their friend Dill. The children are fascinated by the decaying old Radley place, where Boo Radley (Robert Duvall in his film debut) is a recluse. A grown man who has not left the house for years, Boo is a bogeyman to the children ---until he begins to leave them small gifts at the risk of displeasing his abusive father. Hounded at school because their father is defending a black man, the children watch the trial from the blacks-only balcony of the courtroom, and begin to see Atticus in a new light. Both they and their father are put in real danger as the trial progresses, and the two story lines come together as the tension rises.
Does anyone know the name of the instrumental track being played?
