There was a good movie about Truman Capote researching this book and the close releationship he developed with Perry Smith. Released in 2005 "Capote" starring Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote.

Not sure but think i saw Capote movie..Hoffman would be a perfect fit for him.
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, i probably saw that one but don't remember much...seeing Lee J. Cobb's name reminded me of the great movie,
12 Angry Men , Henry Fonda, Jack Warden, Jack Klugman and other good ones..watched that one a number of times....
One more and i'll let you go...You ever see the tv movie Gideon's Trumpet..
Henry Fonda stars...His case led to the law that all persons charged with a crime have the right to an attorney..His lawyer, Abe Fortas, played by José Ferrer argued the case before SCOTUS and later became one of them..His presentation was priceless....I had my granddaughter watch it in her first year of law school...
