My Favorite Drama Film: To Kill a Mockingbird

Robert Duvall's first role!

ses, I wanted to see this again today, so I could pay attention to the music. It was exactly as you described. The score was so integral that I had not really noticed it before—I think that is a compliment to the composer. Also, your description of Atticus Finch is ideal, so I will just add:

Busy front porch

This film is a box of my life lesson treasures: integrity, honor, compassion, honesty and courage. As I sort through them, I realize my first introduction to discrimination, mob mentality and revenge are scattered in there as well. The first ones would not shine so brightly, had they not been held up against the latter. 

A Film That Reminds Me of Somewhere: Roman Holiday

Many years ago my husband and I traveled unexpectedly to Rome for his work. 

Since we hadn’t had time to prepare for the trip, we really weren’t ready for the city. Coming out of the subway, the Coliseum towered above us and there began our whirlwind tour. 

Immediately I thought of Roman Holiday and cried out, “Where’s my Vespa?” 

Because of that movie, I had prepared! So with travel guide in hand we re-explored the city; where ancient and modern coincide.
