This classic screen adaptation of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel—one of the most widely read books of the twentieth century—stars Gregory Peck in an Academy Award-winning performance as Atticus Finch, a white lawyer who defends a black man wrongfully accused of rape. Seen through the eyes of the young tomboy Scout, this courtroom drama becomes a childhood lesson in good, evil, and the pitfalls of justice in a small Southern town. The film features the screen debut of a young Robert Duvall as the town pariah Boo Radley.
