1966 United States 29 minutes English

An intimate and candid portrayal of eccentric author and playwright Truman Capote shot during a Newsweek interview following the publication of his literary experiment In Cold Blood. Capote’s ‘non-fiction novel’ recreates the brutal 1959 murder of a Kansas family by two misfits. In a case of art imitating life imitating art, With Love From Truman reflects Capote’s desire to produce art through a creative treatment of reality.
