Not only that, he both physically and sexually abused Mayella. On the stand Tom Robinson testified that Mayella wanted to kiss a man and “what her pa do to her don’t count.” He wasn’t referring to Bob Ewell giving his daughter a good night kiss.

Your post #42.

Thank you for your observation and I know you have made a number of telling points elsewhere. I should have posted to you, as well as Kabumpo in my original post. I will still stick to my original take on the portrayal. That being the noble, misunderstood and abused black person. Next the absolute lowest of the low white trash.

We can agree to disagree and when my spouse has these films on the television, I take note. I might mention Sydney Portier in say, such as "To Sir With Love" and so on. A portrayal of a saint no less (smile).

That is Hollywood for you.
