Our Page To Screen series is highlighting a true American classic—Robert Mulligan’s To Kill a Mockingbird.
Adapted from Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, this is the rare film that honors its literary roots while carving out a legacy all its own. Set in the racially divided South of the 1930s, the story unfolds through the eyes of young Scout Finch, whose widowed father, Atticus (a career-defining Gregory Peck), is appointed to defend a Black man falsely accused of assaulting a white woman.
To Kill a Mockingbird is a story about justice, empathy, and the quiet heroism of doing what’s right—even when it’s hard. Elmer Bernstein’s haunting score and Robert Duvall’s unforgettable debut as the mysterious Boo Radley only deepen the film’s emotional power. Whether you first met the Finch family on the page or the screen, this is a story that continues to move, challenge, and inspire—generation after generation.
