Trivia:
To get the authenticity he wanted, Richard Brooks filmed in all the actual locations including the Clutter house (where the murders took place) and the actual courtroom (6 of the actual jurors were used). Even Nancy Clutter's horse Babe was used in a few scenes. The actual gallows at the Kansas State Penitentiary were used for filming the executions, however in a 2002 interview, Charles McAtee (who was State Corrections Director for Kansas in the 1960's), clarified the hangman in the film was an actor, not the real deal.

The Perfect Film...?, 9 September 2003

I've seen a great many films, but 'In Cold Blood' stands alone in a class by
itself. It excels in every department. The fact that it contained few big
stars helps push it over the top as you pay closer attention to the
characters and their story, rather than the name on the marquee. Blake and
Wilson turn in stellar performances of the killer duo. The fact that much
of the films is filmed in the actual locations where the crime took place,
even inside the very house, add additional chills. The black/white
photography darkens the mood and the photography is magnificent. There are
many outstanding cinematic works out there, but if I could only vote for one
to top the list, it would most probably be "In Cold Blood".
