Enormously overrated in my opinion. The issues it deals with is extremely important, even more so in 1962. But as a movie in general, i don't see what all the fuss is about..

I'm sure this is a wonderful film. Sadly the book and movie were thrust on me as a teenager in high school and at that age I found them to be terrible.

better than the book

Peck (who won an Oscar) was never better, and the two children are most affecting. Superb script and direction make this, in its own quiet way, one of the best movies dealing with race relations that the American film industry has ever made.

Gregory Peck in the character of his life!

This isn't a standard courtroom movie. It tells the story from the kids' perspective which worked really well. Gregory Peck deserved the Oscar for Best Actor if you ask me. The black-and-white works excellent by the way.

Probably the most perfect movie, definitely the best adaptation of a novel (and what a great novel). All actors are on top form and all shine in their own right, a task difficult to do in the presence of Gregory Peck who is on stellar form. The magic and importance of the story is not lost in translation to the screen, the morals are not shoved down our throats, the characters are perfectly cast and the direction can not be flawed. A must watch for anyone who thinks older films are dated.

Everybody's favorite dad crusades for justice.
