TCM Party watches To Kill a Mockingbird, fans highlight the final scene

There are so many great things about #ToKillAMockingbird that it's easy to overlook the stellar contributions of underrated cinematographer Russell Harlan, who shot classic films like Red River, Gun Crazy, Rio Bravo, Witness for the Prosecution, and many others. #TCMParty

In 1955 Harper Lee’s friends got together and gave her a full year salary as a Christmas gift so she could take time off and write a book. The book that she wrote was ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, it was published in 1960 and the rest is history. #TCMParty #ToKillAMockingbird

Gregory Peck had such an interesting face as a boy, not merely handsome. He's apparently 13 or 14 here (with his dad). #SOTM #Notorious #TCMParty

All the other white folk in #ToKillAMockingbird — the sherriff, the judge, the neighbor woman — view defending a Black man against an obviously fallacious charge of rape as an “unpleasant” job, rather than a righteous calling, and that’s what’s wrong with the white people in this country. #tcmparty

I read somewhere that Robert Duvall knew he had nailed this scene when he felt goosebumps come up on his arm as he did that gesture. #ToKillAMockingbird #TCMParty

What a bunch of hooey. My least favorite Hitchcock movie by far. I'd rather watch Marnie, as ridiculous as it is. (Yes, I'm feeling slightly dyspeptic tonight.) #Spellbound #TCMParty

I was so Scout growing up... I hated wearing dresses (and still do). I would start taking my dress off in the car on the way home from Sunday school. #ToKillAMockingbird #TCMParty

Looking at the cast of To Kill a Mockingbird on Letterboxed @letterboxd.social , Kim Stanley is very far down the list. A shame because her narration is as important to the success of the movie as anything. And that’s saying a lot, because there are many things to praise in Mockingbird. #tcmparty

I always forget the Boo Radley story. After that court scene, I’m emotionally spent. #tcmparty

Harper Lee sets her story in Monroeville, AL. The "downtown" exterior shots and others are taken from there, so you are seeing Monroeville as it looked in 1962-ish. #ToKillAMockingbird #TCMParty #SOTM #CallMeIshmaelOrGregoryPeck

This part where he listens to the kids always gets me #TCMParty

I think the name "Atticus" made a comeback. I know of two teen boys named Atticus which I think is very cool. #ToKillAMockingbird #TCMParty

I realize the TCM mantra is never cut but seriously, if you’re not going to ditch this blacked out screen just to play some music, remind us there is nothing wrong with our tv sets. #Spellbound #TCMParty

I’ve never been able to make sense of #Spellbound partly bc every time it’s on I see bits and pieces, but not beginning to end, so I kinda feel like Gregory Peck in the film…Lol. Tonights viewing is no exception. #SOS #Helpme #TCMParty

Hitchcock walks out of the elevator... Everybody drink! #Spellbound #TCMParty
