The novella is not the movie though both are exceptional. The images are equally vivid in both, but there is a subtlety in the written word that is not present in the film. The movie makes up for this with its tremendous visuals

I saw the movie when I was a teenager and was pleasantly surprised at a conversation in another book I read recently. There was a discussion about the different endings. So, of course, I needed to get a copy! The book was more than I'd anticipated. The movie had followed it very closely EXCEPT for the ending. It's an excellent read and my first introduction to Mr. Capote. I will definitely read more of his works. Also, in researching the book, I found that Marilyn Monroe was first considered for the role. Can't imagine it!
Classic early Capote. A well-written story made into a classic film with talented actors.
