This copy was signed at the Garden City, Kansas premiere of "In Cold Blood," the state where much of the film was shot. The film premiered in New York City on December 14, 1967, before receiving a wider release in early 1968. This film adaptation of "In Cold Blood" was written, produced, and directed by Richard Brooks, who secured the rights from Truman Capote and sought to maintain fidelity to the book s stark tone. Brooks insisted on filming in the actual locations connected to the murders, including the Clutter family farmhouse, the streets of Holcomb, and the cells and gallows of the Kansas State Penitentiary. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards in 1968.
