My fondest memories as a young boy growing up in Detroit are of the excitement and anticipation of the changing of the seasons, the Detroit Tigers, Lafayette Coney Island, the Motown sound and those books and films that explored race and prejudice that were and tragically still are a strong element in our society.

Books like Manchild in the Promised Land and Black Like Me. Films like A Patch of Blue, A Raisin in the Sun, Blackboard Jungle, In The Heat of The Night, The Pawnbroker and my favorite film:

To Kill A Mockingbird

Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch forever confirmed my inner feelings towards racial inequality. That it has no part in this epoch play we call Humanity.

Considering all of the above, it is astonishing to consider Gregory Peck's range, as an actor, when you watch "The Boys From Brazil."
