Gregory Peck's best performance (he won the Oscar), very subtle and laid back. The kids are wonderful - Mary Badham, Phillip Alford and John Megna. With Frank Overton, Rosemary Murphy, Brock Peters, Estelle Evans (Calpurnia), Bob Ewell, Collin Wilcox Paxton.
Beautifully shot by Russell Harlan, great music by Elmer Bernstein. Art direction by that Alexander Golitzen fellow again (AA). Full credit though to Mulligan, who makes everything so real and elicits great performances from the kids.
It gets better every time I see it.
The night / suburbia thing had me thinking of Halloween!
