Fresno Famous

NCM Fathom Events, Turner Classic Movies and Universal Pictures will celebrate the 50th anniversary of "To Kill A Mockingbird" starring Academy Award-winning actor Gregory Peck. Newly restored by Universal for the studio's 100th anniversary, this not-to-be-missed classic will be shown in select movie theaters nationwide, including Fresno's Edward's Theatre, for only one day on Thursday, November 15th at 7 p.m. 

 In honor of the film’s 50th anniversary, join TCM Weekend Daytime Host Ben Mankiewicz and step behind the scenes to hear stories about what it took to turn Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel into a movie and why Gregory Peck felt it was a role he couldn’t pass up. Ben will also share select interviews from the TCM Archives featuring key people involved in the production. Immediately following these exclusive behind the scenes extras become absorbed in Harper Lee’s famous story of lawyer Atticus Finch (Peck) as he challenges the social norm and decides to defend a black man who is accused of raping a white woman and the effects that it has on his family. In addition to Peck, Robert Duvall can be seen in his movie debut as Boo Radley. Don’t miss this American classic, based on Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning story “To Kill a Mockingbird,” as it returns to cinema screens nationwide for only one night on November 15th.
