Despite the closeness of their characters, Mary Badham and Phillip Alford did not get along while filming. Mary would mimic Phillip saying his lines off camera so that he couldn't concentrate. However, it might not have been malice on her part. In the scene where Atticus drives with the children to speak with Helen Robinson, Mary is mouthing Gregory Peck's lines (at 0:44:37). It seems unlikely that she was trying to break Gregory Peck's concentration. It's possible instead that she memorized everyone's lines in each of her scenes, and she wouldn't know what her next line would be until she recited the line immediately preceding it.
