Infamous (2006)

.
"When you're talking to them, they seem like perfectly nice boys. To be frank, I'm much more concerned for my safety around Norman Mailer."

The story of author Truman Capote's (Toby Jones) quest for the story of Perry Smith (Daniel Craig) and Dick Hickock (Lee Pace) who murdered a farm family in Kansas In Cold Blood in 1959.

Capote's bevy of gossipy NYC gal pals include Sandra Bullock as novelist Nelle Harper Lee; Sigourney Weaver as CBS exec Bill Paley's wife Babe; Gwyneth Paltrow as singer Kitty Dean; Isabella Rossellini as Marella Agnelli; Juliet Stevenson as socialite Diana Vreeland; Hope Davis as Slim Keith. With Peter Bogdanovich as Capote's editor Bennett Cerf; Jeff Daniels as the Kansas Bureau of Investigation detective Alvin Dewey who was in charge of the case.
