“With Love From Truman” (1966):  A documentary by Albert Maysles, David Maysles, and Charlotte Zwerin, (16mm, 1966, 29 mins).  “With Love From Truman” — originally titled “The Nonficiton Novel: A  Visit With Truman Capote” — was shot for National Educational  Television, a precursor to PBS. One of the Maysles’ earliest  collaborations with editor Charlotte Zwerin, With Love is built around a  number of intimate conversations with  Capote about his life and writing. Tellingly, the author says that with  In Cold Blood he sought to achieve a “synthesis of journalism and  fictional technique” in order to prove “that you can produce a work of  art out of factual material that has the same impact that a work of  literature does.” Capote’s ideas would prove influential for the Maysles  as their style continued to evolve. Seen together, these films reveal a  transition beyond the changing circumstances of their respective  subjects: nonfiction filmmaking on the cusp of new narrative forms.   (The Maysles later made “Grey Gardens”).
