We always love to mention the director of a certain movie first, since we are sure that without him, the movie wouldn't be as good. In the case of To Kill a Mockingbird, we are more than happy to tell you that the director of this 1962 movie is Robert Mulligan. You might know him as the director of such movies as The Man In The Moon, Summer Of '42, Same Time, Next Year...
Some of the notable stars of the movie are Gregory Pack, John Megna, Frank Overton, Rosemary Murphy,Ruth White...
The main thing why we love this movie is the fact that it is based on a true story. It all happens in Alabama in 1930's, but the fact that this state is racially divided is what adds the drama to the whole story. Atticus Finch is a lawyer who has a task to defend a young guy who is black.
That is not the problem. The problem is that he is accused of raping a white woman. Now, that is a problem. There are many things that they have to deal with.
The citizens of this town are eager to make the lawyer give up on the trial, but that is not something that he wants to do at all. A lot of interesting dialogues, a great story and amazing acting. These are only some of the reasons why you have to watch To Kill a Mockingbird. One thing is for sure – you will not get out of your chair.
