"To Kill A Mockingbird" - (1962; 2 hours, 9 minutes) - Classic Film Series screening - Based on Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, it is a poignant drama set in the racially divided South of the 1930s. The story follows young Scout Finch and her brother, Jem, as they navigate childhood and grapple with complex moral issues under the guidance of their father, Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck). Atticus, a principled lawyer, defends Tom Robinson, a Black man falsely accused of assaulting a white woman, exposing the deep prejudices of their small Alabama town. Through Scout’s eyes, the film explores themes of justice, compassion, and the loss of innocence, delivering a powerful message that resonates to this day. Directed by Robert Mulligan, the film was critically acclaimed for its faithful adaptation of Lee’s novel, its emotional depth, and Peck’s career-defining performance. The movie earned three Academy Awards: Best Actor - Gregory Peck, Best Adapted Screenplay - Horton Foote, and Best Art Direction (B&W). "To Kill a Mockingbird" remains an enduring cinematic masterpiece and one of the greatest films of all time. Two shows only! Thursday, Feb. 13, 2 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 15, 2 p.m.
