Our appreciation of writer-director Richard Brooks' iconic classics begins with the powerful true-crime saga In Cold Blood (1967), shot in stunning black-and-white and widescreen using actual locations. Unknowns at the time, Scott Wilson and Robert Blake portray the killers, and the film helped inaugurate Wilson's four-decade career as a popular character actor. Read more »
