Screen legend Gregory Peck continues to move audiences today with his brilliant Best Actor Oscar performance as Atticus Finch in this special 35th Anniversary commemorative edition that features interviews with Gregory Peck, other original cast members, and the filmmakers.

Its the beautifully told testament to courage, morality and the power of deep personal conviction as a widowed attorney with two young children accepts the significant challenge of defending a black man wrongly accused of rape in their racially divided small Southern town.

Based on harper Lee's 1960 Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Brock Peters is Tom Robinson, afield hand on trial for the rape of a white woman. Prejudice reigns supreme in the backwoods town where this trial takes place. And as an intolerant 1930's society rebels, Atticus prepares his defense while trying to raise his children.

Mary Badham earned an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of tomboy Scout while screenwriter Horton Foote captured the Best Screenplay Oscar, Robert Duvall makes his screen debut as the mysterious neighbor, Boo Radley.
