It's a day maker even with the old footage. Get the book (or a translation) with the movie (1962) one of the greatest ever made. Which had won great many Academies.
Get Ready Boo.!!!! Atticus is here...
Atticus Finch: If you just learn a single trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.
Come and have fun with Jem, Scout, Dill and Atticus and of course Cal. Not to forget Mrs. Dubose, Miss Maudie and Boo.In the Harper Lee's Book, you'll find more...

| Older Scout: [narrating] Maycomb was a tired old town, even in 1932 when I first knew it. |
 |
| Older Scout: [narrating] One time Atticus said you never really knew a man until you stood in his shoes and walked around in them; just standin' on the Radley porch was enough. The summer that had begun so long ago had ended, and another summer had taken its place, and a fall, and Boo Radley had come out. |
 |
| Older Scout: [narrating] Neighbors bring food with death, and flowers with sickness, and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a knife, and our lives. |

Atticus Finch: Do you know what a compromise is?
Scout: Bendin' the law?
Atticus Finch: [slightly bemused] Uh, no. It's an agreement reached by mutual consent. Now, here's the way it works. You concede the necessity of goin' to school, we'll keep right on readin' the same every night, just as we always have. Is that a bargain? |

| Don't you remember me, Mr. Cunningham? I'm Jean Louise Finch |
 |
| Atticus Finch: Well, I reckon because mockingbirds don't do anything but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat people's gardens, don't nest in the corncrib, they don't do one thing but just sing their hearts out for us. |

Scout: May I see your watch? "To Atticus, My Beloved Husband." Atticus, Jem says this watch is gonna belong to him some day.
Atticus Finch: That's right.
Scout: Why?
Atticus Finch: Well, it's customary for the boy to have his father's watch.
Scout: What are you gonna give me?
Atticus Finch: Well, I don't know that I have much else of value that belongs to me... But there's a pearl necklace; there's a ring that belonged to your mother. And I've put them away, and they're to be yours. |

| Miss Maudie Atkinson: He can do plenty of things... He can make somebody's will so airtight you can't break it. You count your blessings and stop complaining, both of you. Thank your stars he has the sense to act his age. |
 |
| Atticus Finch: There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible. |
 |
| Older Scout: [narrating] There just didn't seem to be anyone or anything Atticus couldn't explain. Though it wasn't a talent that would arouse the admiration of any of our friends, Jem and I had to admit he was very good at that - but that was *all* he was good at... we thought. |
Watch the marvelous performance by Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch where he done his 9 minute court room speech in a single take.
