December 14, 1967 –
Richard Brooks’ adaptation of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, starring Robert Blake, Scott Wilson and John Forsythe, opened in New York City on this date.
To get the authenticity he wanted, Richard Brooks filmed in all the actual locations including the Clutter house (where the murders took place) and the actual courtroom (six of the actual jurors were used). Even Nancy Clutter’s horse Babe was used in a few scenes. The actual Kansas State Penitentiary facilities and gallows were not used the film.
