Short description
Scout Finch, 6, and her older brother Jem live in sleepy Maycomb, Alabama, spending much of their time with their friend Dill and spying on their reclusive and mysterious neighbor, Boo Radley. When Atticus, their widowed father and a respected lawyer, defends a black man named Tom Robinson against fabricated rape charges, the trial and tangent events expose the children to evils of racism and stereotyping.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Harper Lee's novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird' (1960). Until 2015, this was the author's only published novel.
- During one of the early scenes, Harper Lee visited the set. The scene of Atticus Finch's return home brought Harper Lee to tears – Gregory Peck was so similar to her father. Incidentally, 'Finch' was her father Lee's middle name.

- The interior of the courthouse is an exact replica of the courthouse in Monroeville, Alabama, Harper Lee's hometown. Universal Studios photographers traveled there specifically before filming.
