CAPOTE
Truman Capote reads about the murder of the Clutter family in Kansas and decides to write about the killings. He travels there with his childhood friend Nelle Harper, and due to the fact that Marie Dewy, the wife of the lead detective on the case is a fan he gets entrée into the investigation. Capote meets with the convicted killers and develops a friendship with Perry Smith. Capote helps Smith file an appeal and the case drags on.
