Gregory Peck won an Oscar for his brilliant performance as the Souther lawyer who defends a black man accused of rape in this film version of the Pluitze Prize-winning novel. The way in which it captures a time, a place, and above all, a mood, makes this film a masterpiece. The setting is a dusty Southern town during the Depression. A white woman accuses a black man of rape. Though he is obviously innocent, the outcome of his trial is such a foregone conclusion that no lawyer will step forward to defend him-except Peck, the town's most distinguished citizen. His compassionate defence costs him many frienfship but earns him the respect and admimartion of his two motherless children.
