Product Description

 
IN COLD BLOOD is Richard Brooks' stylish and powerful 1967 drama adapted from Truman Capote's novel about a shocking real-life murder case. This daring cinematic portrait employs flashbacks to fully examine what drives an individual to commit thoughtless and brutal crimes, while using a highly innovative jazz score by Quincy Jones to capture the moody atmosphere.

Two aimless drifters, Perry Smith (Robert Blake) and Dick Hickock (Scott Wilson), target the home of Kansas businessman Herbert Clutter. After breaking into the house, they find no money, and Smith and Hickock brutally kill the entire Clutter family. They escape the scene of the crime and head for Mexico, but they eventually go back to the States, ultimately returning to Kansas. After being chased for almost a year, the troubled drifters are capt...

Movie Review: Truman Capote's In Cold Blood

Date of Review:  Jan 30, 2009
The Bottom Line:

Essential Viewing: Richard Brooks adaptation of Capote's classic retells story of the 1959 Cutter murders in a thoughtful, insightful and creative fashion. Among the greatest true crime dramas ever made.

Review: Two ex-cons break into a Kansas farm in 1959 and murder the family living there. Why? That’s what Truman Capote was asking when he decided to commit six years to following the case and published In Cold Blood. Capote’s work is considered the...

Black and White and Red All Over

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: Not an enjoyable movie, but one that should be seen.
Review: Robert Blake, who played TV detective Tony Baretta in the popular 1970's show, and Scott Wilson star as Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, two-laid back, recently-paroled ex-convicts with grand ambitions. Unfortunately for them and an unsuspecting Kansas...
