Couldn’t agree with you more. A rare moment when both book and film reach a truly classic level.

Which version did you watch? I have seen the black and white one and also the technicolor version–gotta stick with the b/w

Sort of surprising that someone would just be seeing it for the first time. But the again I’m pushing 50. Both book and film shaped my gen in the deepest way.

Eddy - I watched the Gregory Peck version in black and white, though I think I’ve seen parts of the techno-color remix.
Tom - My bad. I just watched it again, since I read the book back in high school for the first time & have seen the movie before. That is why it is such a classic - stands the test of time.
I’m curious, though, since I’ve never known that the book/movie so shaped a generation. How so?
