Tom Robinson: I did not, sir.

Atticus Finch: Did you harm her in any way?

Tom Robinson: I did not.

When the children go to the courthouse and up to the courtroom door, there are two solid doors with covered panels (that do not let light through), with a clear transom window above the doors. However, when the children boost Dill up to see into the courtroom, the doors' top panels are clear windows. See more...

When Scout is playing in the tyre, Jem roles it down the street. You see Scout hit the porch steps at the front of the Radley house, but when Jem goes to pick her up, you see him pick her up from the side of the house and not the front. [The tire rolls down the street, entering the side yard and striking the porch steps at the side of the house, not the front. Note that the porch extends the length of the front and around the side with a set of steps down to the side yard. This is evident in the following shots. There is no entry door behind the side steps that Scout hits, and in the next shot we see Jem running from the side steps up to the front door to tag it.]

When Atticus is in the courtroom, he asks Mr. Ewell to write his name. Two mistakes here: Mr. Ewell wasn't writing letters, just a bunch of random scribbles. But the second is, he's not writing at all. You can see the pencil is about half an inch from the paper. [He is barely literate and is scrawling his name on the paper as a child might do, with a series of lines and curves to make the letters. I have watched the film many times and he appears to be touching the paper with the pencil. He even pushes down hard enough to bend the paper at one point.]

If Tom Robinson had a problem with the strength of his left arm, he certainly had enough power and strength to strangle Ms. Mayella. [I think it was more a case of having no control over his left arm, so how could he hold her down, strangle her, and rape her all at the same time with only 1 arm.]

When the children and Atticus see the mad dog running up the street, throughout the scene there are shots looking down the street towards the dog. During these shots, you can see what looks like a mountain in the background. The story takes place in Alabama, but there are no mountains in Alabama. [The southern foothills of the Appalachian Mountain range are in Northern Alabama.]

When Jem and Scout are talking to each other from their beds at night, Jem tells Scout that he was six when their mother died and she was two. That was four years ago which would make Jem ten years old now. After Mr. Ewell is killed and Atticus suspects Jem killed him, he tells the sheriff that he can't remember if Jem is twelve or thirteen. [The film takes place over at least a year or two, according to the book.]
