I have came across this title many times before, whether it was from reading a book or watching a movie. And yeah, I have to admit I have no idea what the story was about.
But I was curious about it as the title was rather cute, or dangerous. And thus I finally downloaded the movie.
It was an old movie alright. In fact it was in black and white! And so I wasn’t very keen of watching it and kept it for a few months.
But as I was quite boring last week, I thought maybe I could have a quick view on what was it about. But when I started on the movie, I couldn’t stop till I finish watching it!!
It was really an exceptional and inspiring movie. No wonder it ranked no.2 by the American Film Institute on the 100 Most Inspiring Movies of All Time in 2006 and ranked as the #25 Greatest Movie of All Time in 2007!
It was about a lawyer who defended a black man when he was accused of raping a white girl during the 1930s in a racial era. It was also about two children and the discrimination of the black and mentally retarded people. I love the little girl, Mary Badham who acted so well in the movie.
I am glad I watched it. Now I am hoping to read the novel itself as it is a best book ever written. =)
Rate : 4 stars!
Have you watched/read it yet?

Congrats! I’ve just nominated you for an award. Hop by my blog to check it out! Have a nice weekend!
P.S.: Saw the movie in the cinema when I was a kid but I can’t remember a thing about it. Something about black & white! My daughter’s doing the book for Literature in college.
yeah, i’ve seen the movie and read the book many, many years ago.
great stuff, indeed, and i’m glad you’ve joined the club
look like a nice movie…..
I think I’ve seen this movie either on TV or video when I was very small. Can’t really remember the story but now that you mentioned it, I could recall a little bit. I didn’t know how to appreciate this show when I small, maybe should watch it one more time. Only thing is black & white don’t quite appeal to me … : )
Great storyline, definitely a classic. The only problem I have with old films is, the way they talk. Is it just me, or does it really get a little annoying after a while?
u should hunt for Heaven & Earth by Tommy Lee Jones, and Beyond Borders - truly truly moving!
