They are mine as well. Since being published in 1960, the novel has sold 40 million copies.
I have read the novel at least five times and watched the film at least that many times.

In 1962 the film was nominated for eight Academy Awards. It won three academy awards - Best Actor - Gregory Peck, Best Adapted Screenplay - Horton Foote
and Best Art Direction - Set Decoration Black and White - Henry Bumstead, Alexander Golitzen, and Oliver Emer.
