Ladies & gentlemen of the jury: I give you Robert Blake-GUILTY

GUILTY.
GUILTY.
GUILTY.

Starring Robert Blake as Perry Smith.

"To get the authenticity he wanted, Richard Brooks filmed in all the actual locations including the Clutter house (where the murders took place) and the actual courtroom (6 of the actual jurors were used). Even Nancy Clutter's horse Babe was used in a few scenes. The actual gallows at the Kansas State Penitentiary were used for filming the executions, however in a 2002 interview, Charles McAtee (who was State Corrections Director for Kansas in the 1960's), clarified the hangman in the film was an actor, not the real deal."

A pretty stunning film for its time. Blake gives the performance of his career as Perry Smith, the bloodthirsty killer of a farming family in rural...hell, I don't remember. Kansas? Anyway, he bites it in the film.

"Shut up!"

He's lost that Baretta wit! :D

if it's true to the novel - it is Kansas. All based on a true story btw. The book is really good - groundbreaking work for it's time. Maybe the best thing Truman Capote ever wrote.
