In Cold Blood

N.p. Bernie Abramson, 1967. Vintage silver gelatin reference photograph from the brutal 1967 film, based on Truman Capote's nonfiction book. Stamped twice on the verso, once in red (Columbia Pictures) and once in black (ORIGINAL PRINT / Pictorial Press, Ltd., with contact information).

This image shows Dick (Scott Wilson) taking a rifle from the back seat of his car, just prior to entering the house and committing the vile crime that is the subject of the film.

Richard Brooks' unflinching and unsentimental documentary style made for a visualization that matched the power of Capote's most famous book, and remains one of the great meditations on violence in America.

8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.
