One of the few movies, along with Jaws, that I liked better than the book. Peck gives a powerful performance.

Don't forget Anatomy of a Murder. Saw that at the movies with my Mom.

If you like Gregory Peck in dramas, add Moby Dick to that as well.

I am not sure why they can ban the book, but not the movie.
The book uses a bad word that only certain segments of the population can use, the movie doesn't.

Banning these books to age appropriate kids help them not learn critical thinking skills. 1/2 of my HS reading list from the 60's and 70s are now banned in the same district

I enjoyed it too. I'm hoping to see the play with Richard Thomas which will be back in Toronto soon.

Yeah! It's is an excellent adaption of a beloved novel. I especially liked the fellow hiding in the shadows behind the bedroom door. Isn't that what scares the bejabbers out of any kid. Presaged a brilliant career for a young Robert Duvall. It is amazing that we really haven't learned too much as a nation from such elegant movie making
But you know, it being Feb 2 yesterday I had to watch Ground Hog day. More laughs per 30 second scenes than ANY OTHER film, bar none ... especially the railroad scene!!! I laugh out loud just thinking about it.

Probably my first understanding of racism at 12 y/o. I grew up in a pretty conservative and nearly exclusively white farming area in So. Oregon. My parents were from small-town deep south, but because people of color weren't around, racism never came up. I asked dad about it. He was by then retired from a Navy career (22 years, nearly all at sea) and had only good things to say about his black shipmates. I was 15 before I came to know anyone of color.
