Several weeks ago, I reported that 'Capote' was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It tells of the writing of "In Cold Blood", the story of his fascination with the murderers of the Cutter family.
Yesterday, we watched 'In Cold Blood', the 1967 film noir version of Capote's book, starring Robert Blake as murderer Perry Smith. Excellent movie, I think, and the second part of the Cutter tetralogy. Blake by the way has a stellar performance as a complicated murdered, never dreaming he would 35 years later be caught up in a real life situation (or did he?)
The third part of the tetralogy would be reading the book itself, and the final part reading Gerald Clarke's biography of Capote, on which much of the recent movie is based.
Then, after 'The Dybbuk' closes at Theater J, we can see Bal Masque, based on Capote's famous black-white ball at the Plaza.
