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!

Not sure but think i saw Capote movie..Hoffman would be a perfect fit for him. Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, i probably saw that one but don't remember much...seeing Lee J. Cobb's name reminded me of the great movie, 12 Angry Men , Henry Fonda, Jack Warden, Jack Klugman and other good ones..watched that one a number of times.... One more and i'll let you go...You ever see the tv movie Gideon's Trumpet.. Henry Fonda stars...His case led to the law that all persons charged with a crime have the right to an attorney..His lawyer, Abe Fortas, played by José Ferrer argued the case before SCOTUS and later became one of them..His presentation was priceless....I had my granddaughter watch it in her first year of law school...

 Even though it got panned mercilessly, I still like that movie. And the music from it (Andre Previn) is my favorite movie sound track. Deja vu, right?!~12 Angry Men is another classic movie. I don't think I saw Gideon's Trumpet. Will have to watch for it. Sounds good. I love movies with a legal theme. I cried when they stopped running Paper Chase on tv.
