In a small Alabama town during the Great Depression, the lawyer Atticus Finch defends a Black man, Tom Robinson, accused of raping a white woman. His children, Scout and Jem, watch the trial and learn about prejudice and courage while also being fascinated by their reclusive neighbour Boo Radley. Gregory Peck stars, from Harper Lee's novel.

Sinekatalog’s take

A deeply moving drama of conscience seen through children's eyes. Gregory Peck won an Oscar for his decent, quiet Atticus, and Elmer Bernstein's score and the black-and-white photography are classics.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
