Gregory Peck won an Oscar for his brilliant performance as the Southern lawyer who defends a black man accused of rape in this film version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The way in which it captures a time, a place, and above all, a mood, makes this film a masterpiece. The setting is a dusty Southern town during the Depression. A white woman accuses a black man of rape. Though he is obviously innocent, the outcome of his trial is such a foregone conclusion that no lawyer will step forward to defend him--except Peck, the town's most distinguished citizen. His compassion defense costs him many friendships but earns him the respect and admiration of his two motherless children.

Our winner for best DVD from the early 1960's - 5 out of 5 (9/5/1998)
Wonderful adaptation of Harper Lee's Pulitzer prize winning novel about her childhood in a rural Alabama town during the depression. "Scout" and her brother Jem, along with their friend "Dill" (who in real life was Truman Capote) first explore the innocence of life in Maycomb.
Later, their father is chosen to defend an unfairly accused black man in this segregated society. An Academy award winning performance by Gregory Peck shows them how a man can be honorable, intelligent, and wise. Their

No collection should be without. - 5 out of 5 (7/24/1998)
This is an amazing DVD. I can say, as a collector of mostly classic films, that no other black and white move save maybe Psycho is transferred as well as this one. I found myself freeze framing from time to time just to marvel at how sharp and clear the images and light to dark contrasts were. Universal has really outdone themselves on this one--bravo!
As for the film, well, it is a true classic American movie, based on possibly the greatest American novel ever written. The story is relaxed

A Collector's Must - 3.25 out of 5 (5/21/1998)
Although the picture is in Black and White, it has the look and sound of a new release. A nice job was done taking this old classic and presenting it in the DVD format. Shown in its original widescreen aspect the small southern town streets look like streets and the courtroom isn't a shoebox. Although the sound track is in mono, it is 2 channel mono. You will not have to stain to here things and the room fills nicely with sound. The DVD is full of great extras, pictures, director's commenta
