“Un avocat alb din Alabama sare în apărarea unui negru acuzat de viol. Impresionantă mărturie a stărilor de lucruri din Sudul american în anii ’30. În rolul avocatului, străluceşte Peck.” (Dicţionar universal de filme, 2002)

Roger Ebert: „”To Kill a Mockingbird” is a time capsule, preserving hopes and sentiments from a kinder, gentler, more naive America. It was released in December 1962, the last month of the last year of the complacency of the postwar years. The following November, John F. Kennedy would be assassinated. Nothing would ever be the same again – not after the deaths of Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, not after the war in Vietnam, certainly not after September 11, 2001. The most hopeful development during that period for America was the civil rights movement, which dealt a series of legal and moral blows to racism. But „To Kill a Mockingbird,” set in Maycomb, Alabama, in 1932, uses the realities of its time only as a backdrop for the portrait of a brave white liberal.”
