Second Sunday Cinema has a terrific film Sunday. It’s the “other” movie about author Truman Capote, ‘Infamous.’ Not that the other one, ‘Capote,’ starring Philip Seymour Hoffman wasn’t any good; no sir, he won an Oscar for the role. A good many critics have preferred this one, though it didn’t get the buzz.

‘Infamous’ stars Toby Jones, who is recognizable from his parts on BBC TV’s, ‘Midsomer Murders.’ Its cast is nothing less than stellar: Sandra Bullock as Capote’s cousin, the novelist Harper Lee; perhaps Bullock’s best work yet. Sigourney Weaver, Isabella Rossellini, Jeff Daniels and Gywneth Paltrow in supporting roles. Daniel Craig, the “new 007,” is Perry Smith, the stone-cold killer of a Kansas family, from whom Capote based his book, ‘In Cold Blood.’

Curtain: 1 p.m. in the cozy confines of the Fox/Penthouse Theatre, with pastries and coffee to greet patrons.

Q: So who did all the printing and reproduction of those photographs at the Montrose Pavilion?

A: Ken Holyfield, and his capable crew at MegaPixel Imaging.

They did a super job. Those photos, part of the Daily Press’ 10 Years of Photojournalism Show had its debut Jan. 27. They will be on display at the Pavilion for another few weeks.
