Adapted by AFI Honorary Degree recipient Horton Foote from Harper Lee’s beloved novel, director Robert Mulligan’s TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (1962) appears on five of the American Film Institute’s lists celebrating excellence in the art form – including as the greatest courtroom drama of all time, the 10th anniversary edition of the greatest films of all time as well as among cinema’s most inspiring stories and greatest film scores. Gregory Peck’s iconic character, Atticus Finch, was named the greatest screen hero of all time by the American Film Institute – and Peck himself was ranked #12 on AFI’s list of the greatest screen legends of all time. The recipient of an AFI Life Achievement Award in 1989, Peck was also the American Film Institute’s founding Chairman.
