Truman Capote's legacy -- encompassing a literary masterpiece, "In Cold Blood", a beloved Hollywood Movie, "Breakfast at Tiffany's", an incomplete and truly controversial novel, "Answered Prayers" -- (incomplete in that only 3 Chapters of it were ever published), and memorable appearances (for us old-timers) on all the major talk shows of the time from Johnny Carson, to Dick Cavett, to Merv Griffin, to a poignant, funny 1-man Tony award winning Broadway Show, "Tru", featuring the great actor Robert Morse, is now beautifully, succinctly yet comprehensively examined in this excellent documentary, which manages to cover this complex, controversial, pathetic, sometimes funny, sometimes tragic life of Capote. No punches are pulled. In addition to the magical world of celebrity and wealth and fame, a spotight also shines on the sadder aspects of Capote's life, from his sad/poignant upbringing, essentially abandoned by his mother, to his moments of glory with the success of his early literary work and celebrity, and his famous Black & White Ball to his tragic, lonely downfall, created by his own undoing. Black & White! That's Capote's life -- The highest of successes, and fame and money, and recognition -- to the lowest of failures, and infamy and derision, loneliness and sadness. A true American original, who's name will live on. AND this wonderful documentary will most certainly help that legacy long continue!

This was a good idea to conduct the interviews both on audio tape and video and then turn it into a movie (documentary). Relevant photos, clippings, and such are displayed during the audio recordings. The interviews really do add to the depth and breadth of perceptions of the person of Truman Capote. Interviews include Dick Cavett, Lauren Bacall, and many others; in fact several segments of Cavett's and Johnny Carson's interviews of Truman are shown. ... Intriguing. ... The film is well done and excellently curated. // As is well-known, near the end of his life (and of the film) Truman basically undermines himself and then gradually self-destructs. (As an aside, from having seen the 'authentic' and well-done film of Truman's life, "Capote," this documentary, "The Capote Tapes" confirms that the movie (with Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman), "Capote," is highly on-point and accurate.) You learn about aspects and significant persons in Truman's life that you might not have known about at all. Also, seeing this much more fully explained the early end to Truman Capote's life. // A few stars missing from the stars-rating since it perhaps could have been a two- or three-part limited series to be even more comprehensive and in-depth.

I remember wanting to see this in the cinema because it looked interesting. It is. You can watch it on Hulu. Lots of interesting interviews, vintage film footage of New York City, and of course, Truman who was a force...until he sunk into alcohol and pills. "Truman wrote the best sentences," said Norman Mailer (high praise and unexpected) and "No one carried the stress and the weight of what must have been a heavy burden just being him," said Norman Mailer when they went into a dark New York City bar one afternoon in the early 1960s and every head turned to watch Truman walk to the back and sit at a table. Mailer said he was tense from exhaustion from the adrenaline rush he was feeling waiting for a brawl, but the altercation never came. The men in the bar left them alone. Capote was a great writer and a great personality. He may have been foolish at times but he was never stupid. He was able to keep his work life separate from his party life, until he couldn't. The crash came fast and hard and we were witness to it as Capote continued the talk show circuit longer than he should have. Those who wanted to save him couldn't rescue him from himself. But before Truman was lost, he was on top of the world. New York City was/is the pinnacle. No one cares where you were born, where you went to school, they care about what you do, who you are. You can be the richest man in DesMoines but its not worth a damn. Nobody understood this better than Truman Capote. His beginnings were crushing, would have destroyed anyone, anyone but Truman. It's interesting hearing what his friends and others had to say about him and better still hearing Truman in own words to really understand his charisma and the wit that drew people to him. This is a well researched portrait of one of the most fascinating people of the 20th century.

Greetings again from the darkness. The audio tapes of interviews George Plimpton conducted for his 1997 biography, "Truman Capote: In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances, and Distractors Recall his Turbulent Career", serve as the foundation for this documentary by Ebs Burnough, once a Senior Advisor to former First Lady, Michelle Obama. As fascinating as the tapes are, it's the archival footage, photographs, and additional on-camera interviews that turn this into a well-rounded profile of the enigmatic Truman Capote. We hear those who knew him describe Capote as seductive, a freak, sleazy, brilliant, fun, and naughty. He's also the author of two literary classics, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1958) and "In Cold Blood" (1966). It's the latter which some claim kicked off the celebrity culture (the one that's out of control today), as Capote capitalized on his fame and high society standing to become bigger than the work (insert Norma Desmond line here). Burnough uses the long-standing rumors of Capote's scandalous manuscript, "Answered Prayers" as the structure of his story-telling. For more than 10 years, Capote teased with his anticipated answer to Proust's "In Search of Lost Times". The closest it came to publication was a couple of chapters in Esquire Magazine in 1975. We hear this described as "excerpts of a novel that doesn't exist". Whether the manuscript exists or not, has little bearing on Burnough's ability to help us understand Capote. Those providing insight include author Jay McInerney ("Bright Lights, Big City, 1984), Capote's long-time partner Jack Dunphy, Pulitzer Prize winning author Norman Mailer (claims Capote "wrote the best sentences"), and Kate Harrington, Capote's adopted daughter (he had a relationship with her father). Ms. Harrington's recollections are quite personal and add a welcome dimension to an otherwise focus on celebrity. The segment on Capote's 1966 "Black and White" ball at New York's swanky Plaza Hotel is likely the best snapshot of how many remember him. The guest list was truly a who's who among New York high society, intellects, celebrities, and even royalty. By this time, we've learned of Capote's "Swans" - the beautiful and elegant society ladies who constantly escorted him in public. Of course, gay life in those days was quite a bit more challenging, so appearances were crucial. CAPOTE (2005) with Philip Seymour Hoffman and INFAMOUS (2006) with Toby Jones, stand as the main cinematic depictions of Truman Capote for younger generations. For those of us a bit older, we vividly recall the talk show appearances by this funny little man with the baby voice and effeminate mannerisms. He was an oddity to most of us, in that he looked and sounded quite different, but it was clear he was intelligent and funny. What we didn't know was that drugs, alcohol, and self-absorption were slowly killing him. Capote became a caricature of himself, and by the end in 1984 at age 59 had betrayed many of his friends. Burnough's documentary is all we hoped it would be. Opens in New York and Los Angeles theaters on September 10, 2021.
