REVIEWS:

"There probably aren't enough glowing adjectives in the dictionary to describe the loveliness of this film. A truly fabulous piece of American cinema. .... 'To Kill A Mockingbird' is a masterpiece of personally felt moods and memories. Who among us doesn't have at least one childhood memory that can be rekindled through the actions of Scout, Jem, or Dill? This is a motion picture you can watch again and again -- and each time take away something different when that incomparable final act fades to black. .... Any collection of great American motion pictures is unquestionably incomplete if 'To Kill A Mockingbird' does not occupy a prominent position on the shelf reserved for such magnificent movie treasures."

-- David Von Pein; September 2005

"A rewarding film. .... [Gregory] Peck...[Mary] Badham and
[Phillip] Alford...portray delightful characters. Their charming
enactments of a father and his children in that close relationship
that can occur at only one brief period are
worth all the footage of the film."

-- Excerpt from The New York Times; February 15, 1963
