In Cold Blood

In Cold Blood is the powerful, true story of a callous murder, based upon the best-selling novel by Truman Capote. A prosperous and respected Kanses farmer, his wife and his two teenage children are wnatonly and brutally slaughtered. The murderers are two mindless ex-convict drifters; Perry Smith (Robert Blake) and Dick Hickock (Scott Wilson). Neither of the men are sane enough to regret their crime. The store penetrates the inner workings of the criminals minds as it follows their puposeless meandering through Mexico and the United States in evasion of the law. After more than a year of wandering, the hunted men are finally caught, tried and in a dramatic conclusion condemned to hang.
