Gregory Peck won an Oscar for his brilliant performance as the Southern lawyer who defends a black man accused of rape in this film version of the Pulitzer 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 compassion defense costs him many friendships but earns him the respect and admiration of his two motherless children.
