Interesting that there is a connection with the 1967 movie In Cold Blood and the Academy Award nominee Capote.
I was pleased to see that the man who directed my all time favorite movie Nashville got a life time acheivement award tonight.
Didn't catch these Awards since I had a game to go to at the same time. Glad Reese Witherspoon won for her part in Walk The Line. That was a very well done movie about Johnny Cash. She portrayed June Carter. I'd recommend it for any of you. If you liked Ray, you'll like this.
1967 appears to have been somewhat of a breakthrough year in movies, ie, Black & White issues tackled in a humorous manner (Guess Who's Coming to Dinner), ditto in more serious fashion with In The Heat of the Night, and the adult content in The Graduate. "Plastic." Although The Graduate was nothing compared to a movie that won the Oscar just a couple years later: Midnight Cowboy.
