The classic movie garnered Gregory Peck an Academy Award for his portrayal of Atticus Finch and was nominated for eight Academy Awards. Safe to say it has become one of the greatest movies of all time, as it follows a child’s view of race and injustice in the Depression-era South. The book sells one million copies per year, and Scout remains one of the most beloved characters of American Fiction. It sure has been decades since Finch took the stand to defend Tom Robinson, but Pecks’ portrayal of the layer will always be remembered! Fun Fact: The movie launched the career of Robert Duvall, who plays “Boo” Radley in the nostalgic American classic.
