When the Shawn hits the conflicts: Denby stands up for Mr. Shawn
Reviewing Capote in this week's New Yorker, David Denby allows himself some tut-tutting pride of place, defending the late, reserved strongman of the magazine: "The filmmakers turn William Shawn (Bob Balaban), the editor of The New Yorker, into an aggressive force who pushes the plot along. For the record, Shawn was not in the habit of demanding the bloody details in stories about murder, or of rushing off to the Midwest to keep his writers company at executions."
