i saw this in the theater during it initial release and it be disturb then a i be sure it would still be . it be the first part of 68 and this be still make the round in town across america and there have recently be a mass murder in my hometown where i saw this where a man go on a shooting rampage . the freshness of that close to home event combine with this dramatize true story make for a very disturbing theatrical experience . it really bring to life the excellent acting of robert blake and scott wilson . i be familiar with the novel base on the true event by truman capote and the screenplay and direction by richard brook weave the event and truman interpretation into compel gritty cinematic adaptation . music from quincy jones effectively score it story . i have only see this a couple time since . it be too real . almost like be a witness to the crime itself and rid along with the killer . i would give this a 9 . 0 of a possible 10. society be so desensitized to violence and crime today that this probably seem slow and tame and could be view with less effect but to anyone over 50 this will be a hallmark into the examination of the criminal psyche .
