We got a call from public television, it was... the National Educational Television it was called in those days. They said that we're doing a series of films of American writers, three writers, as a matter of fact. Nabokov I recall was one of them, and they had another one that they were about to make. They thought if we could come up with a good idea that we should make one too. So our first thought was well, let's do one of Norman Mailer. And certainly that would be acceptable for subject matter. But Norman, who we knew pretty well, felt that he just wasn't in a mood to do what he called any more advertising for himself. So we didn't press him. And then we heard that Truman Capote was about to publish a non-fiction novel called In Cold Blood. Well, that really was of great interest to us not only because he's such a great writer, but because it was something that we wanted to do.
