One of the greatest soundtracks of all time

If the best criterion for judging the worth of a film score is how well it reflects and supports the narrative of the film, without ever upstaging it, then To Kill A Mockingbird is hands-down one of the masterpieces of film music. I defy any film music fan or scholar to name a film score that deserves a higher ranking, based upon that criterion. There are certainly film scores that can equal it -- a small number, to be sure -- but none that can exceed it.

Elmer Bernstein's score is the tale of Harper Lee's novel recast in the form of music. It is the perfect musical realization of that story, married to a perfect film adaptation of the novel.

The entire film reflects the same quality of excellence as the score. There isn't a weak element in it, from acting to directing to cinematography to editing. Even the opening title sequences is an extraordinary work of art, in itself.

There are few films that can be enjoyed again and again, viewing after viewing. This is definitely one of them.

I would argue that there are even fewer film scores that can stand up to repeated hearings, especially when heard apart from the film. This is definitely one of those few.
