To Kill a Mockingbird.
Classic movie. Other Gregory Peck movie I really like from the same time period is "On The Beach."

Armand Assante...didn't see that one... You ever see the tv movie, The Missiles of October...very good.. "William Devane gives a compelling performance as President John F. Kennedy in this dramatization of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Based partly on Kennedy's book Thirteen Days, the film recounts the 13 days in October 1962 that nearly led to nuclear war."...Martin Sheen as Bobby was very good...

To Kill a Mockingbird.
I'm a senile citizen, big, you know that. I remember that show with Devane; biggest deal about it was how he captured the JFK look in it. Wasn't Ralph Bellamy also in that?

The character of Dill was modeled after Lee's childhood friend, Truman Capote, known then as Truman Persons. In the movie, Dill lived next door to Scout during the summer. In real life, Truman lived next door to Lee with his aunts while his mother visited New York City.
Love this movie. Did see it last night for the umpteenth time. Also saw On The Beach when it was first released. Yeah, I'm old! So what!
