Their intimate conversation began in 1940 and never truly ended. Truman Capote was a young gay man, only 16, who came to New York filled with dreams of writing. By then, Tennessee Williams was already an acclaimed author in the Big Apple. Something sparked between them, and as the years went by, that spark grew into a flame that fed not only a friendship but also loud arguments, conversations about life and writing, and poignant criticism—all equally intense. The portraits of Williams and Capote, and the revolution they sparked in literature and theater, are painted in this film with diaries, letters (narrated by Jim Parsons and Zachary Quinto), and bare-all interviews (including on David Frost’s show) intercut with unforgettable scenes from A Streetcar Named Desire, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, The Night of the Iguana, and other gems.
