More Capote...why is this hideous little man so popular with filmmakers?
He only wrote 2 notable things - and they weren't really that good, one wrote itself and the other only became something because of Audrey Hepburn.
Inexplicably made a year after Capote - a redundant project albeit with a better cast.
Incredible bad timing - or, bad judgment - maybe both.
Even with the different approach - he was still a vile character with a grating voice.

The(ir) Blurb...
On November 16, 1959, Truman Capote reads about the murder of a Kansas family. There are no suspects. With Harper Lee, he visits the town: he wants to write about their response. First he must get locals to talk, then, after arrests, he must gain access to the prisoners. One talks constantly; the other, Perry Smith, says little. Capote is implacable, wanting the story, believing this book will establish a new form of reportage: he must figure out what Perry wants. Their relationship becomes something more than writer and character: Perry killed in cold blood, the state will execute him in cold blood; does Capote get his story through cold calculation, or is there a price for him to pay?
