For those of you who don't know, the producers approached the owner of the Clutter house and asked permission to film on the property. The owner did better than that and let them film inside the actual Clutter home. That had to be difficult for all the actors involved knowing they stood in the same locations as the Clutter family.
There was a famous kidnapping of the 5 year old son of an old multimillionaire about 100 years ago in Kansas and the police asked the local mafia to find the kidnappers and they did in a few hours.
About 100 years ago the 5 year old son of a very old multimillionaire was kidnapped in Kansas and the local police asked the local mafia to find those responsible, they did very quickly.
@@naturalfreq the attorneys for the accused are supposed to be liberal. They are representing their client. And judges are only supposed to uphold the law, so if the law changes so it goes.
This film makes as good a case for capital punishment as any other film or documentary. Doesn’t convince me that capital punishment has any place in a modern state.
Ιndeed the death penalty is a horrible remnant of the past and wholy incompatible with democracy and human rights. I am European and glad that the whole of Europe abolished it several decades ago, the only exception being Belarus which is a non-democracy.
I was 17 at the time i saw this movie at the cinema. I didn't think that it made a case for capital punishment. I thought it was neutral on the subject and maybe somewhat against it. After all, Truman Capote on whose book the movie was based was definitely against.
@@Frankie5Angels150I did. Watch carefully. The gallows at the start showed two ropes. Hickock was at 1:32 (he walked up the steps, and they cut to their cutting him down after and him in the morgue truck) then Smith at 3:32 or so (they showed his entire hanging). Addressed each by name.
The long winded process shown here amounted to torture, what an appalling and inhumane way of performing what was supposed to be justice. Here in the UK from the executioner entering the condemned cell to the prisoners death (in the adjacent execution room where the hanging was carried out) was as little as 7 seconds. This was an exceptionally quick execution as the condemned almost ran to the gallows so as to die quickly but even so most hangings' were not significantly longer. Even today in the US death by lethal injection is another drawn out procedure followed by a painful and relatively slow death. I think the Russians, of all people, had a better way, they led the prisoner who had not ben told he/she was about to be executed a room which had tiled walls, and a drain in the floor and before they realised what was happening they would be shot in the neck causing instant death.

Question for Perry; Was God in the Clutter house Nov 15 1959?
Wilson and Blake were AMAZING! Scott Wilson underrated, unappreciated.
Excellent film. Better than that crappy re-make they did. The real kicker is just before he hangs Perry sees his father as the hangman.

For those who didn’t notice: When Perry first looks directly at the hangman, he sees his father’s face. Looks again and sees the actual hangman…
I saw this in the theater when I was 16. Heavy stuff. The scene went longer as Perry's heart slowly stopped beating.
nice
It was a really good movie.
Robert Blake was brilliant in this.
As was Scott Wilson.
K9@@dominicromano1611
And in real life, got away with murder! How ironic!
Yes he was incredible
Hell of a book, hell of a movie.
I remember reading Truman's novel, remember Perry's bad habit of chewing aspirin.
Hickock was pronounced dead at 12:41 a.m. Smith was pronounced dead at 1:19 a.m.
One thing is for certain those 2 didn’t murder anyone else.
My one and only objection to capital punishment is the danger of miscarriage of justice. But that is a hard one to overcome.
The character that Robert Blake played didn't say anything before he was executed. However the line is memorable.
Seen this on talking pictures channel a couple of times , great film .
I can't believe the state of Kansas would have allowed filming there, but that looks EXACTLY like the gallows used for the actual hanging.
They filmed the murders in the actual house where the real murders occurred
@@richspinaci8293 That had to be so creepy for the cast & crew.
@@brendafuller907 I remember reading years ago that some of the cast is actually getting the shakes working inside of the house
During Perry hanging the protocol is very accurate. Everything down to how he's being held on the trapdoor to the position of the noose.
@@richspinaci8293 I believe it!
Remember this movie coming out. I was young and terrified at the scenes of the poor family.
It pays to behave.
I seen to remember Perry asking to use the bathroom so he wouldn’t soil himself. But not in this clip.
that's because it's not in this clip.
The state of Kansas did not fuck around 9back then.

It is more the liberal lawyers and judges.

Wow Robert Blake acting as a murderer. Who would have ever thought.
Typecasting
@@thelastjohnwayne OJ?
Robert Blake wasn’t portrayed as a murderer. He portrayed a murderer.
Life imitates art or vice versa?
😱
The book was better, more nuanced and deeper. Brilliant writing. But this movie was good too
Robert Blake, great actor.
Look up: Electra Glide in Blue
The book is a very good read.
Brilliant movie.🎥
Appeared to be a very stretchy rope. 🙂
I have read that the executioner would drop a bag of sand one or two times previously, to take the "stretch" out of the rope.
They bought it at the local Walmart.
Unlike today they won’t cost us a fortune.
Excellent movie.
Let me guess, these guys didn’t re-offend.
What a genius!
Brilliant movie

Это фильм или на самом деле казнь показали?
Its a film...not a real hanging...
What were Robert Blake's final words? I couldn't understand them.
He said "I think maybe, I would like to apologize ....but who to?"
@@bshaboogie I mean at 3:25, after he looks the hangman in the face.
He said...GULP
@@tomfuller5585 "Is God in this place too?"
@@bshaboogie That's it.
Robert Blake was an incredible actor.
But then he's been acting since he was barely out of diapers.
Based on a true story,solid movie though disturbing.
Shouldn't they have taken Perry's chewing-gum, from him, before they hanged him, so that he wouldn't choke on it? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In the book they say he spit it right into the minister guys hand, supposedly he kept it for a good while before finally throwing it away.
That's Harvey Oberst.
Why didn’t they show both hangings ?
They did. One at a time.
Not in this clip
@@patrickb5197 dunno, I saw it in this clip
@@hgc5293
No you didn’t.

True story.
Ironically, it’s the climb up the stairs that gives the fall the energy to kill you.
What are you trying to say?
Should've had Jerry Lee Lewis play the other guy.
Brutal
Bungee!!
Great movie regardless

жалко людей....
Still trying to figure out why they had to wear those stupid harnesses for a hanging.
Because they were afraid of them?
Do you mean the hood? Helps keep the mess contained instead of spurting out.
@@michaelbishop8298 No, he means the harness and chains around their torso, to which their handcuffs are secured.
Keep you from grabbing the rope ?
@@BobHansen-ik1ln …or the hatch?
Boring
you're boring.
Isn't that a little hard on your neck ? Fooling around like that somebody's going to get hurt😅
Well that’s a stretch.
