Infamous (film)

Infamous is a 2006 American drama film based on the 1997 book by George Plimpton Truman Capote In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances, and Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career. It covers the period from the late 1950s through the mid1960s, during which Truman Capote researched and wrote his bestseller In Cold Blood.

Truman Capote, known in New York City society for his wit and fashion flair as much as he is recognized in literary circles as the celebrated writer of Other Voices, Other Rooms and Breakfast at Tiffanys, reads a brief article about the murder of a farming family in Holcomb, Kansas, in the back pages of the New York Times of November 16, 1959.Curious as to how the residents would react to a brutal massacre in their midst, the author and his friend, Harper Lee Sandra Bullock, travel from New York to the rural Midwestern town, ostensibly so Capote can interview people for a magazine article. Once there, he realizes there might be enough material for what he eventually describes as a nonfiction novel. ........
