In Cold Blood (4/8) Movie CLIP - Silver Dollar (1967) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Perry (Robert Blake) has a moment of self-reflection as he rifles on the floor for Nancy Clutter's (Brenda Currin) silver dollar.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Richard Brooks wrote and directed this stark black-and-white (with brilliantly evocative cinematography by Conrad Hall) study of two drifters who murder a family, based on Truman Capote's non-fiction novel In Cold Blood. The film takes place in Holcomb, Kansas, where four members of the Herbert Clutter family are roused from their sleep and brutally murdered. The killers, Perry Smith (Robert Blake) and Dick Hickock (Scott Wilson), are two ex-cons who plan to rob the Clutters of $10,000 kept in a safe in their home. But Dick and Perry find no safe and no $10,000 and end up leaving the murder scene with only $43. The police, led by Alvin Dewey (John Forsythe) of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, try to track down the killers. Meanwhile, Dick and Perry take off to Mexico, where Perry has fantasies of prospecting for gold. But when his dreams of prospecting come to naught, Dick insists that they return to the United States. Confident that they have left no clues, they cash bad checks, and the police track them down in Las Vegas. During questioning, their alibis are broken when they are separated and tell conflicting stories.

I've been in Nancy Clutter's room where this was is such as small space and it's amazing that Richard Brooks could get a crew in there along with actor Brenda Currin & Robert Blake. I felt a profound sadness as I stood in the corner where her headboard was. It must have been just awful and I pray that God swept her out of it without pain and not much thought....

The full movie had been uploaded here, but was removed. Robert Blake gave an award winning performance.

I dont think there is a film like this one. So shocking and what makes it so is the time period, not long after the killings and Hickock-Perry's hanging. And the fact that Brooks filmed on location...and this whole awful sequence in the very house, the very rooms where the murders took place. Thats a story in itself. Wilson and Blake are perfect

[angelamatlock]

Robert hands down should have gotten a oscar!!!

What makes this movie scary and upsetting is that it really happened.  This was an actual crime.

[wendywoo]

A fantastic movie based on a fantastic book, even if the book wasn't 100% factual. Richard Brooks filmed every scene on location & deliberately kept Scott Wilson/Robert Blake (who were fantastic) away from the actors playing the Clutters until filming the robbery-murder scene. The Clutters didn't know their killers so Brooks tried to convey that on the screen as much as possible. The scenes in the house were filmed during the day but blackout paper or something was used to shut out all the light. Brenda Currin, who played Nancy, said that filming in the Clutter house was absolutely claustrophobic. Sundance TV broadcast an excellent documentary back in November about the murders, you can watch it online if you have an account. If Capote had never written his book, this horrendous crime might have just faded away. But even after all these years (58), the books is still popular & this movie is the absolute best version (IMO). If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it. You can find it in just about any library or used book store.

This movie scared the living daylights out of me the first time I saw it.  My heart was pounding hard in my chest.  It felt like I couldn't breath 'cause was so realistic.  After watching this Movie and getting ready for bed I told my mother "Mom, make sure the doors are locked."

[bunnybastille]

The scene in the early part of the movie where Nancy's friend asked her if she wanted to spend the night at her friend's house, that is haunting.  I wish Nancy had gone to her friend's house, I wish the whole family had not been home when those monsters invaded.

[roadmaster]

set up the habit of double checking that doors are locked and deadbolts thrown also at age 16 in 1972 when i first read the book "in cold blood". even now at age 63 and living in a deep south small town, my doors and windows are locked and securely fastened just the same. probably 80% of the locals here leave doors unlocked and a in cold blood killing could happen here. the folks here would react as how many in holcomb, ks did after the clutter murders.

In Cold Blood has been noted as an example of Hollywood new realism by critics such as Chris Fujiwara. Capote biographer Tison Pugh characterizes the film as an exercise in a "relentless pursuit of authenticity, " and adds: "By putting his characters in the actual settings of their real-life counterparts, Brooks imbued his film with a reality both mundane and unbearable. Scholar Joel Black considers the film and its representation of real-life violent incidents "a form of psychological or social documentary.

I wonder that too all them people died so horrifically :(

[hemming]

Silly question, but Ill ask it. Has anybody reported any paranormal activity in that house since the killings?

[awritertheman]

Where is the beginning of when they invaded the house?
