#11 In Cold Blood

from Better Than Speed Hosted by Better Than Speed

It's no shame to have a dirty face, honey baby. The shame comes when you keep it dirty. Robert Blake makes short order of all the Charlie Potatoes who dare cross him in the Richard Brooks adaptation of In Cold Blood. We're joined by photographer and documentary filmmaker Jessica Schilling to track all the rain drops and beautifully lit silhouettes that haunt this relentlessly unsettling film. Want the raw deal straight from the source? Check out composer Quincy Jones spilling the beans on Michael Jackson, Ivanka Trump, and Marlon "Horny For Mailboxes" Brando in this remarkable Vulture interview. Next episode we'll be watching Fellini's first color film Juliet of the Spirits, and you can find it streaming at, you guessed it, FilmStruck. Hot tip: we're giving away a pristine vintage copy of a Fellini soundtrack on vinyl in an upcoming episode, so leave us an iTunes review and you'll be automatically entered to win.
