In Cold Blood The 1967 film In Cold Blood was based on Capote's novel of the same name. Richard Brooks adapted the novel and directed the film. Portions were filmed on location of the original crimes, including at the Clutter residence where the murders were committed. The film stars Robert Blake as Perry Smith, Scott Wilson as Dick Hickock, and John Forsythe as Alvin Dewey. Although the film is faithful to the novel, Brooks used it to convey an anti-death penalty message. It is also apparently the first commercially released film in the US to use the word 'shit'. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards: directing, original score, cinematography and adapted screenplay.
