Henry D @Henry_Domke Jul 23, 2026 A very good-looking print, with strikingly attractive actors, especially Alain Delon, even though the characters themselves were not particularly appealing. The story, adapted from Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley, was stylish and entertaining. It was also interesting to see this earlier version of Tom Ripley after having watched The American Friend and Ripley’s Game, both based on a later Ripley novel.

Delon’s Ripley moves with feline poise; Ronet’s louche playboy spots the teeth too late. A few slack spells stop it from greatness, yet beside the glossy remakes this stays cooler, leaner and more unsettling. If Ripley ever needed a passport mugshot, this would be it.

Shot in location in places such as Roma and Ischia, the plot is as interesting as the scenery is beautiful to watch.

See more Mark D @theDaye Jan 30, 2024 An excellent thriller that keeps you guessing. Alain Delon is, as always, wonderful. This is the story of Tom Ripley from the Patricia Highsmith book.
