Infamous

About the Soundtrack

What begins as a humorous journey of openly gay writer Truman Capote as he moves through the elegant circles of Manhattan's sophisticated café society, turns darker as he becomes increasingly consumed by a murder case. Infamous tells the story of Capote (Toby Jones) as he investigates the case that would result in his smash book In Cold Blood. With the help of his assistant, Harper Lee (Sandra Bullock), Capote begins his project interviewing the killers Perry Smith (Daniel Craig) and Dick Hickock (Lee Pace).As Capote digs deeper into the psychology of the two men, his feelings for them deepen, complicating his work.

Warner Independent Pictures' Infamous is written and directed by Douglas McGrath (Nicholas Nickleby, Emma), based on the book Truman Capote: In Which Various Friends, Enemies,Acquaintances and Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career, by George Plimpton.

The music of Infamous includes the original score by Rachel Portman (Oliver Twist, Chocolat, The Manchurian Candidate), as well as poignant songs from the 1950s, including songs from Sarah Vaughan, Dusty Springfield, and two exclusive, unreleased songs written by Harlan Howard and performed by Johnny Bond. Featured in the film and on the soundtrack is "There's a Goldmine in the Sky" performed on camera by Daniel Craig and Cole Porter's "What is This Thing Called Love," performed on camera by Gwyneth Paltrow.
