Gregory Peck - "To Kill a Mockingbird".

 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056592/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

 

Life lessons abound.

 

Great example of how children learn from their Parent's (Father, in this case, Mother has Passed) actions.

 

Watch it from the young Daughter's perspective, as narrated.

 

Precious lessons.

 

 

Available on Netflix,  at least.

My HS senior had to read the book last semester for a Literature course.  I think he read it, but I did notice the movie in the Netflix "Recently Watched" category (and to think, we used to have to buy the CliffsNotes!).

I had to watch "Twelve O'Clock High" with Gregory Peck for a management course in college.  Apparently, Peck's character demonstrated excellent situational leadership style in the movie (so said the professor).  Peck was a great actor no doubt.

I thought the book was better.

What most casual readers and movie watchers won't pick up on is that the book is actually multiple levels deep, it stands up to the heavy scrutiny from the humanities professor crowd which is why it is so popular among the critics. It's a favorite book to teach because of this. You think you know the story but there's a metaphor under the surface. Dig some more and there's another metaphor under the surface of that. It's pretty wild.
