Film Description: Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiographical novel was translated to film in 1962 by Horton Foote and the producer/director team of Robert Mulligan and Alan J. Pakula. Set a small Alabama town in the 1930s, the story focuses on scrupulously honest, highly respected lawyer Atticus Finch, magnificently embodied by Gregory Peck. Finch puts his career on the line when he agrees to represent Tom Robinson (Brock Peters), a black man accused of rape. The trial and the events surrounding it are seen through the eyes of Finch's six-year-old daughter Scout (Mary Badham). While Robinson's trial gives the film its momentum, there are plenty of anecdotal occurrences before and after the court date: Scout's ever-strengthening bond with older brother Jem (Philip Alford), her friendship with precocious young Dill Harris (a character based on Lee's childhood chum Truman Capote and played by John Megna), her father's no-nonsense reactions to such life-and-death crises as a rampaging mad dog, and especially Scout's reactions to, and relationship with, Boo Radley (Robert Duvall in his movie debut), the reclusive "village idiot" who turns out to be her salvation when she is attacked by a venomous bigot. To Kill a Mockingbird won Academy Awards for Best Actor (Peck), Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Art Direction.

IT'S ABOUT TIME someone put this scene on YouTube. It's one of the best scenes in film and my personal favorite by far.

(Too bad it's got a 30 second ad at the end, but I digress).

[YUTOOB SUXNOW]

what a scene!! Magnificant!

[sweetsugarsourspice]

I always thought Scout was adorable. Just sayin

[TheKrislaf]

they stand up for him because he stood up for them.

[Ken Graham]

Not only was Dill based on Harper Lee's real childhood friend and neighbor, Truman Capote, but there has always been a persistent rumor that Capote actually did most (or even all) of the writing of "To Kill a Mockingbird". It is a tantalizing rumor made all the more believable because Harper Lee... after writing one of the great novels of our time... never had anything published again. Still, I choose to believe that Ms. Lee is the sole author and that facts seem to back that up.

[Ken Graham]

The best part of the wonderful piece of moviemaking is Jem. If you remember the beginning of the movie... and especially in the book... he is always complaining that his dad is so "old" and that his friends fathers are so much more fun. However as the movie progresses, culminating with this scene, he comes to realize that not only is his father better than all his friends' fathers combined, but he is darn near a superhero.

[lordalessan]

He was found guilty despite overwhelming evidence that he was innocent. He was then shot when he tried to escape from jail. :(

[Azazel Sharingan]

What happened to Tom Robinson?

[darkknight07100]

Atticus can't face them. HE thinks... he's failed them. THAT'S why he's the greatest hero in the history of cinema and perhaps literature.

[Soo jell]

Great reply.

[Rob Hultgren]

One of the most powerful scenes in movie history.

[kim stewart]

I had to read the book in high school and glad I did. What a wonderful story of courage and hope. One of the best movies ever made!!!
