InfamousDouglas McGrath, 2006 Film DescriptionIn 2005 Bennett Miller directed CAPOTE, an Oscar-winning dramatisation of Truman Capote's traumatic experiences writing the celebrated novel In Cold Blood. In 2006 Douglas McGrath directed Infamous, a movie that follows exactly the same premise, throwing in a few tricks to help separate the two films. Talking head interviews with some of Capote's contemporaries, such as Gore Vidal and Babe Paley, are used, and the movie has a lighter - almost comedic at times - feel to it. We witness Toby Jones's Capote travelling from New York to Kansas, settling into the town, interviewing the murderers, and developing an obsession with one of them - Perry Smith (Daniel Craig). Jones lights up the screen with a performance that closely rivals Philip Seymour Hoffman's turn as the infamous author. Other notable appearances come from Sandra Bullock, who just about manages to nail Harper Lee; Sigourney Weaver and Isabella Rossellini, who both camp up their roles as socialites; Jeff Daniels as the detective who befriends Capote; and Gwyneth Paltrow, who makes a brief appearance as singer Peggy Lee.
