It's a movie that was made up on the spot; Huston tore up the original screenplay on the first day of filming, flew the young Truman Capote to Ravallo, Italy, to crank out new scenes against a daily deadline and allowed his supporting stars, especially Robert Morley and Peter Lorre, to create dialogue for their own characters. (Capote spoke daily by telephone with his pet raven, and one day when the raven refused to answer he flew to Rome to console it, further delaying the production.)</em> - <a href="http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20001126/REVIEWS08/11260301/1023">Roger Ebert's Great Movies</a> tag:metafilter.com,2011:site.103770 Sun, 22 May 2011 13:51:58 -0800 50s art cinema comedy cult film humphreybogart johnhuston movies trumancapote Trurl
