In Cold Blood


Based on Truman Capote's novelization of a true story, two young crooks are ineffectual individually, but when together become violent criminals. They break into a wealthy Kansas farmer's home only to find that there is nearly no money at the home and slaughter the entire family to avoid identification.

"In the years since Truman Capote published In Cold Blood in 1966, the true crime genre has expanded to fill whole sections of the book stores. Factual accounts of crime were common enough before, but Capote combined in-depth reporting with the techniques of the New Journalism." - Roger Ebert
