1. It is an anti-death penalty drama.

2. I just watched The Capote Tapes on Hulu.

If you’re as fascinated by him as I’ve always been it’s worth watching.

I knew this but it reminded me of the terrible bind he was in regarding Perry. He fell in love with him. But Perry’s execution was a “great” end to the saga and the book. Truman never really got over that.

The Idaho case has had me thinking about it too. Might not be a coincidence they’re showing it.

3. Solid cinematic treatment of Capote's brilliant "non-fiction novel."

Some of the movie's interior sequences were actually filmed in the Clutter family home, where the murders were committed.
