Mulligan was nominated for Best Director for To Kill a Mockingbird but - understandably - lost to David Lean for Lawrence of Arabia. Mockingbird is a beautifully composed film, as the still from the first link shows.

A beautiful, wonderful film, and an amazing adaptation of a book.

"Mockingbird" was one of those motion pictures you never forget. "Love with the Proper Stranger" and "Summer of '42" had their moments, too.

"The Other" was the first movie I ever remembering watching start to finish. It left a lifetime impression on me. It hit a chord with me that has lasted a lifetime. Rest in Peace, my friend.

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.
