Infamous (2006)

Truman Capote researches In Cold Blood. Hangs around with mass murderers Perry Smith and Dick Hickock in prison. He wins people over, cop and killer alike, with stories about working with Humphrey Bogart when he worked as a writer on Beat the Devil

Covers the same ground as Capote (2005). It seems less serious in the beginning. Truman Capote (Toby Jones) is more cartoonish at first. In Kansas, people reasonably mistake him for a woman. But it turns much more grim than the other film.

Look for Peter Bogdanovich and Jeff Daniels. With Sigourney Weaver, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sandra Bullock, Isabella Rossellini, Daniel Craig as Perry Smith, Lee Pace as Dick Hickock.
