I'm fuzzy on it.... I should see it again.
You should, indeed. I loved it the first time I say it and I was only 13. The child actors are gems, as is Gregory Peck.
It is well done and as faithful to the novel as can be. It is Harper Lee's only published novel for which she won a Pulitzer Prize.
I guess it's a "southron" gal thing. She and Margaret Mitchell who wrote "Gone With the Wind" only wrote one book each but really packed a punch.
(Flannery O'Connor fans, don't pile on, please. I love her, too.)
