Gregory Peck won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Atticus Finch. Harper Lee, who wrote the novel, visited the set, and she watched the filming of the scene where the kids run to meet Atticus as he came home from work. When the shot was over, Peck went over to speak to Harper Lee and found her in tears. She said he reminded so much of her father.

@agenttheater5 8 ай бұрын

I heard that Harper Lee's dad heard her and her friend Truman Capote (the one who wrote In Cold blood and Breakfast at Tiffany's, I think his parents just left him with his mothers relatives in Alabama for a few years during their divorce and never visited) telling each other the stories they'd made up, so he bought them a typewriter so they'd spend time dictating their stories for the other to write down.

The kids fear of Boo Radley and making him into a larger than life monster is a metaphor for the ignorance that many held towards black people and the irrational fear they were subjected to. When Boo does "come out" and it's shown he's a kind, innocent man who was misunderstood and mistreated, it reveals the irrational nature of fear and prejudice. I did my Master's thesis on the book, one of the best things I ever did in life.

I greatly appreciate that the filmmakers in those days always gave their movies first, second and third acts. I've noticed that around about the 90s their started a trend; particularly in most Hollywood movies; where the setup is all there in the first act but then they throw out the rest for endless action scenes or something, e.g. cheap dramatic pay-offs. Sometimes it depends on the type of movie, but it's generally sloppy, uncreative and predictable.

Gregory Peck was perfectly cast as Atticus Finch. They're basically the same man. Peck was a true gentleman. I would strongly recommend the book. The movie is actually really loyal to the book, but it can't really translate some of the observations that Scout makes. There's a certain charm to the book, because it's told completely from a child's perspective and that effects how some of the events are told in her eyes; the reader, as an adult, understands the subject that the character misses. But the narrative manages to deliver that subject in a way that doesn't feel forced. And there's a lot of material in the book that didn't make it into the movie for time. A lot of people call this a court room drama. It really isn't. It's a story about childhood. And growing up. It's a beautiful book.

I grew up in a rural area where the races were separate, the men who came to work for my grandparents would come to the back steps and knock. She would feed them in pie tins in the backyard. It wasn’t until I was in high school that the girl who ironed for us came in the front door. The sit down in the restaurants shut them down, marched in front of the theaters. In my senior year there were 3 black students admitted, their parents were professors at the black university. That was 1964.

When you watch this movie you will be entranced, touched, entertained and amazed. And enter a new world of books and movies that will expect your deep appreciation for them. For background you will need to read the book and watch the movie IN COLD BLOOD. The book was written by Truman Capote and tells how he became involved. The author of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is Harper Lee, in the book/movie is a character called Dill based on Harper Lee’s childhood friend Truman Capote.

I was a kid in Oklahoma when my family took me to this movie when it first came out in '62. We had to sit in the balcony of the Chief theater...that's where black people had to sit...where the black people were required to sit in this courtroom. I was in middle school five years later before I ever met a white kid or white adult. I hadn't even been in the same playground as a white kid. The last time I sat in segregated movie seating was July 20, 1969. I remember the exact day because I cut a date short to get home to watch Neil Armstrong step out on the moon. The book is a genuine delight to read...the writing is beautiful. It had surprising insights. The only fault of the movie is that it just can't contain all that the book contains. That was Robert Duvall's first role, btw. This is certainly my favorite Gregory Peck movie.

27:01 In the book he said that she'd said that "what her daddy do to her don't count". He was basically the only person to treat her with any decency, doing chores for her without charge because he knew she couldn't spare it, and because her father and younger siblings never seemed to help her with anything when she was the only person there to try and make the place look even just a bit nice (they mention there's red flowers in the window that she waters every day). That's why she tried to kiss him and wanted him to kiss her back. And that's another reason why she lied - she couldn't let anyone know she tried to kiss a black man. That and she's terrified of her father.

Lee was researching and interviewing people who knew the reverend for the book, but she just stopped. Like she was spooked by something. Far as I know, the manuscript got tossed or locked away somewhere collecting dust.

There's a wealth of old "black and white" films and the fact that most people dismiss them is a sin in and of itself. Some of my favorite films are from the 30s and 40s. People have no idea what they're missing. Myself, I can't relate to modern films which are nothing but special effects, explosions, and cgi - all playing at breakneck speeds. Its like playing a video game only for its pretty graphics. Surface level eye candy with little underneath. Older films aren't as slick and tend to move much slower so there is a sort of learning curve to watching them, but my God what powerful and memorable stories and performances there are in many of them.

gregory peck is one of my favorite actors. he has a screen presence and and a voice of authority while maintaining an air of patience, intelligence and vulnerability. you should see him in hitchcock's "spellbound" (1945), the 1947 classic "gentleman's agreement" about american anti-semitism, "the man in the gray flannel suit" (1956) "cape fear" (1962) or "the omen" (1976). as a kid "to kill a mockingbird" showed on tv every couple of years. we kids didn't care much about the court scenes but were mesmerized by the kids. i kinda thought the film was a horror film because of spooky "boo" radley. the book is real good too and, of course, goes into much more detail about some of the characters. for instance, the old lady on the porch the kids were afraid of was a morphine addict. i sure wish movie reactors would spend more time watching BEAUTIFULLY well-made films like this rather than crap like "ace ventura: pet detective" and "caddyshack."

In a book about Samuel Leibowitz, a New York lawyer who defended the Scotsboro Boys (five african-americans accused of rape in Alabama in the 1930s), Leibowitz was told by Southern lawyers that you couldn't cross-examine a white woman who accused a black man of rape, because the law assumed that no white woman would make up such a story that would bring such shame and disgrace on herself. Whether this was an actual rule of Alabama courts or just what was expected of southern gentleman lawyers, I am not sure.

He comes off as very reassuring there is something calming and comforting about his demeanor in almost any movie he is in. I agree that the speech he made in the courtroom is one of the most powerful. I especially remember one phrase from Gregory Peck "The courts are our great equalizer", you hope so, but not in this movie.

Gregory Peck and Mary Badham (Scout) formed a genuine bond during the filming. They addressed each other as Atticus and Scout for the rest of Peck's life. After this, Mary Badham had a few roles here and there until just a year or two later. Her last role was in the last episode of the original Twilight Zone. When the older Scout says at the beginning that the town had been told it had nothing to fear but fear itself, she's repeating a phrase from Franklin Roosevelt's first Inaugural Address. You might like to see the 1959 movie (in black-and-white) Anatomy of a Murder. The main cast is: James Stewart as a lawyer defending a man accused of murder; Eve Arden is his secretary, who treats him like an equal, and with dry humor; Ben Gazzara as the man accused; Lee Remick (age 23 at the time, in her first role in the movies) as his wife, who was raped by the man her husband is accused of killing; and George C. Scott as a prosecutor. The judge is played by none other than Joseph N. Welch, a lawyer who defended the Army in Army-McCarthy hearings in Congress in the early 1950s. Senator Joseph McCarthy was determined -- or seemed to be -- to get every communist on the planet in jail. A lot of people got hurt -- lost their jobs, and worse -- because of him. On June 9, 1954, McCarthy did something so shitty, Welch said, "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you no sense of decency?" That was the end of McCarthy. (All that has nothing to do with the movie, I just felt like talking about it.) The movie is based on a real case which took place in Upper Michigan several years before the movie was made. It was filmed on location. Some of the jurors in the real case played the jury in the movie case. Good stuff.

This is about doing something extraordinary in a moment that isn't extraordinary.

One of the best books and films of all time. Incredible. This is my fave Gregory Peck movie, hands down. You just cannot beat it. And btw, I grew up in a sleepy little town like that (though it was not the 30s, but the 60s) and kids really truly DO run around like that. It's quite common here in the South in small cities/towns. Kids in general have much more free reign over their "free time", and more responsibility in general. Of course, if you made bad decisions about how you spent your time, you got in loads of trouble, lol. My father grew up in the same small town and THAT was in the 30s -- And, even though he was lucky enough to have parents who were not prejudiced and did not teach them to be, they still had to be careful about their behavior....He told a story where he and his black friend were sitting on the fence of their property by the road, where they could be openly seen by anyone, and when his dad got home, he got a real talking to and a spanking because he had been seen and people had told his dad. He didn't get in trouble because he was with a black boy. He got in trouble because at that time being seen with a black person was all it took to get members of the Klan to come after you. His dad impressed on him the fact that even though it wasn't wrong, he still had to be careful, because the Klan could come and hurt any one of his family members and his mom. Hard lesson, and one that shouldn't have to be taught at all.

There are a number of additional scenes and dialogue in the book that fill out the story. Movies always have to be streamlined and visual of course. One of the most interesting parts to me was the morning after the trial, Atticus found that the back porch was filled with bundles of collards and other typical rural foods. The housekeeper, Calpurnia, explained that the black people had been bringing things to pay tribute for the arguments Atticus made in the trial. He choked up a bit and told her to tell the other black people not to bring any more: the Finches were not wealthy, but they were nowhere near as poor as the black people of the county. They had just felt compelled to express thanks for laying bare the issues that the black people faced. I have been a lawyer in the deep south since the 80s. I saw many courthouses where it would have been easy to have segregated galleries. I remember one in particular where the sign that said 'Colored Entrance' had been removed from the foot of a set of stairs. I know that's what the sign had said because the sun had bleached the paint everywhere but where the board of the sign had been, and the letters had been cut into the board, allowing the words to be bleached into the paint as well.

I can keep on watching this movie over and over again and never get bored of it! I first read the book when I was eleven and I, now aged sixty, still enjoy reading it. The same applies to the movie.

I just found your channel and well done! This, as well as the book it is based on, are masterpieces. I never fail to cry when I watch this movie or even just a few scenes of this movie. The hard realities of this world as seen thru the eyes of innocence. The lessons that this story teaches are timeless and should never stop being passed on. Especially, and unfortunately since we still haven’t learned most of them to this day. It makes me happy when I see reactors watch important films like this. The internet is a very powerful tool and every time it is used to spread the kind of message this story tells is a good thing. If you are still interested in older b&w movies I would recommend “A Patch of Blue”(1965) & “The Miracle Worker”(1962). Both are excellent and powerful films,imo anyway. A Patch of Blue touches on a few real world issues in the form of an unlikely friendships & love. The Miracle Worker is based on the true story of Anne Sullivan, who was the first tutor of Helen Keller, who was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer in the 1920’s thru to her death in the 1960’s I believe.

As much as I love this movie, my favorites Gregory Peck movie is Captain Newman, MD. He filmed it right after To Kill a Mockingbird. He plays a Doctor dealing with soldiers in WW II who have PTSD. A great movie.

I L O V E seeing you react to older “Classic” films, there are a Wealth of great movies to see and every decade from the 1910’s to the 1980’s has some great films to see. Some of Gregory Peck’s films are: The Yearling (1946), Twelve O’Clock High (1949), The Keys Of The Kingdom (1944), Cape Fear (1962), Moby Dick (1956), Gentleman’s Agreement (1947), David And Bathsheba (1951). Days Of Glory (1944) was his first film and Cape Fear (1962) was his last feature film.

" Cape Fear (1962) was his last feature film." Wasn't he the star of 'The Omen' in 1976? I think you are thinking of the Cape Fear in 1991, which was his final film role. (he was in both the 60's version and the 90's version)

I have so many Peck movies, but I choose for you "The Big Country". The author, Harper Lee, said that, when casting for the movie, she wasn't convinced Peck was right for the role of her father. Gregory Peck visited her at the family home and asked to speak with Mr. Lee for a bit. Harper Lee waited outside for a bit and then her father came out. Only it wasn't her father, it was Gregory Peck, who had grasped her father in just that little while.

You would love the movie The Grapes of Wrath starring Henry Fonda. It's during the depression where whole families would get up and move just to go where they could find work. Old classic like To Kill a Mockingbird. I subscribed; I'll be watching out for your reaction to the movie mentioned.

I can't tell you how MUCH I LOVE this movie and how many times I have seen it since it was first in the theaters in 1962, I NEVER TIRE of it. Gregory Peck is one of my FAVORITE actors of all time, and THIS is my FAVORITE role that he has ever played. Another thing I love is the MUSIC, the theme song, it is SO BEAUTIFUL. To KILL A MOCKINGBIRD was required reading in my junior high English class. When the movie came out, our teacher took us to the theater to see it. Now some people want to ban this book...that is a crime. I LOVED how you mentioned "TWELVE ANGRY MEN"! THAT is another very favorite movie of mine that I have watched many many times! I would like to suggest a couple of other black and white movies that I also think you will like, if you haven't seen them already. "A PATCH OF BLUE" starring SIDNEY POITIER, SHELLEY WINTERS AND ELIZABETH HARTMAN (from 1965). It is about a friendship between an educated black man and an illiterate, blind, white 18 year old girl during racially divided America. It's a BEAUTIFUL movie. The other is "FAIL SAFE" from 1964, starring HENRY FONDA, AND WALTER MATTHAU (make sure THIS is the one you watch, cos there was a remake in 2000 which doesn't live up to the original in my view.) FAIL SAFE was also required reading in high school. The premise is chilling and is also relevant today. It always will be as long as the world has atomic weapons. The acting is amazing and it's very tense in parts. It always scared me because this kind of thing could happen. I HOPE you will REACT to both those movies I suggested ...that is, IF you haven't already seen them. THANKS for this one, I REALLY ENJOYED watching it (AGAIN) with you.

Bro, Can't believe you did this, my favorite book, movie and soundtrack of all time because NO ONEon KZbin does this one and it's a shame. When I was a kid, this was shown every Halloween and we never missed it. When I got to high school and read the book, I was hooked. I even found a girl who looked just like Jean Louise, even with same haircut, nicknamed her Scout and married her. My closest friends knew why I was so happy and couldn't believe I met this girl. Thanks, man.

I agree with you completely. I have several editions of the book, and the film on Blu-ray. Saw it re-released and remastered in the theater a few years ago with my 3 adult sons. We all felt like we were seeing it for the first time, so powerful on the big screen. Not changed but still almost like watching a new movie. Elmer Bernstein's score is simply beautiful and arresting.

Such a good film and book. Breaks my heart that it receives so much criticism when it has meant so much to so many people and imo has contributed so much positive effect toward society. I always get so drawn into the film because the Finch house and that neighborhood reminds me sooo much of my house and where I grew up as a child, how we had free will to roam, and even the mini-urban legends of the neighborhood..... I really enjoyed watching along with you and will be checking out your other stuff.
