Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Mr. Gilmer calls his next witness, he calls the wrong one (Mayella) to come first, which would have made the entire case scene non-crucial as it was in the book. Gregory Peck picks up on this superbly and improves the line which makes Mr. Gilmer re-think and correct his actions. This was all a mistake by Mr. Gilmer in the movie.

'To Kill a Mockingbird' is one of the best books ever written but this film does it justice. The performances throughout are stunning, especially that of Gregory Peck (Harper Lee was so impressed she gave him her late father's pocket watch, a prop he uses in the film, to keep). This film will make anyone think hard about how they treat others and it is really heartwarming without being soppy. It isn't necessary to have read the book before seeing this film but it might be advisable. This is one of the classic films of its generation and very few films of nowadays come close to matching it either. A real must-see.
