To Kill A Mockingbird



Black&White classic about a racism case, a lawyer (Gregory Peck) and his kids.
-Year: 1962
-Year in film: 1932
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: girl Scout 10, boy Jem 14, other men & boys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes 2 Disc edition
-Bib occurrence: often
-Rating:  9/10
-Rating: *********
-Comment: Black&white but very good. Authentic. Historic. The film has much suspense. You can also watch it more than once. Both kids wear bibs most of the time. Jem lost his pants at a fence together with his sister in one scene (showing his underpants and Scout helped undressing him so he become free and later he puts them on again). Bib of Scout's overalls down while changing shirt by a maid, also dressing on scene by her. Also other ~4-5 boys at schoolyard in bibs (1 in light bibs, one in light hickory striped, others in raw denim). Also quite dark denim bibs of Scout). Good style. Timeless. Big picture showing Phillip Alford as Jem, pic 2 picture: Jem, Scout (Mary Badham) and Dill (John Megna). 3 Oscars, novel by Harper Lee.

DVD: I own the 2 disc Oscar Edition released 2006. Lots of extras, incl. interviews of the kid actors now grown up (few of Alford). Most extras are about Peck (incl. his family), but I don't need this extra DVD. Making-of on main disc. All major languages and subtitles. I've seen this film ~4 times completely some time ago and once recently. Not much real farm content except small fields and gardens but also showing some farmers with straw hats mainly at court. Perhaps I will later also create story entries of some scenes.

Scout's brand is probably Lee, Jem's maybe Boss of the Road. I found 3 similar brands
