In Cold Blood (1967)
7/10
First-Rate Storytelling
1 June 2015
1967's In Cold Blood is really quite a remarkable and riveting motion picture in many ways. Even today, nearly 50 years later, this is certainly one unique film-experience that still holds up very well.

Impressively filmed in a semi-documentary style, In Cold Blood tells the true-life story of 2 young men who senselessly murder the Clutter family for a large sum of money that was supposed to be hidden in a safe in their Kansas farmhouse.

Masterfully directed by Richard Brooks, this compelling picture was based on Truman Capote's book of the same name. The film's exceptional b&w camera-work was done by Conrad Hall.

For anyone who's interested in seeing a fine example of first-rate movie-making from the 1960s, I recommend this picture very highly.
