In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany's

tFour members of the Clutter family were cruelly murdered on November 15 1959 in the small hamlet of Holcomb Kansas by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no obvious reason for the crime and there were few hints. Truman Capote recreates the murder and the investigation that led to the criminals' capture trial and execution in one of the earliest non-fiction novels ever written generating both hypnotic suspense and astonishing empathy. In Cold Blood is a film that goes beyond its time offering heartbreaking insights into the essence of American violence.Nothing horrible can ever happen at Tiffany's Holly Golightly knows. Capote created a lady whose name has become a part of the American language and whose style has become a part of the literary landscape—her poignancy wit and naiveté continue to captivate.
