Superior to the Minghella version
Alain Delon stars as Tom Ripley in “Purple Noon,” an adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith novel “The Talented Mr. Ripley.” There is another filming of the same book in 1999 starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Gwyneth Paltrow, which I didn’t care for.

Patricia Highsmith was happy with all of this film except for the ending, which differs from her book, the first of a series. She really liked Delon as Ripley, and it’s clear why. He does an excellent job as the suave, charming Tom who hides all of his amorality beneath the veil of a chiseled face and beautiful smile. Delon is one of the great matinée idols, really at the height of his fabulous looks here.

Unlike the Minghella version, which I found preposterous, this story makes more sense and becomes absolutely riveting once Ripley gets rid of his rival Philippe Greenleaf (Maurice Ronet) and steals his identity. Rene Clement is a wonderful director, and the scene in the restaurant where Tom makes sure he is overheard talking to Marge (Marie Laforet) is especially good. The camera work is excellent throughout and a little unusual.

I, too, did not care for the ending, which was not Highsmith’s.

One thing i’ve never bought about this story is the fact that Ripley hung around the same area as Marge and Philippe’s friends after becoming him. That to me was a big problem in the Minghella film, which was made worse by some dumb scenes. Though I still don’t understand it, it was easier to take in this film.

Like the Minghella version, Purple Noon is glorious to look at, with a more European flavor than The Talented Mr. Ripley. Highly recommended.

One of the Best Thrillers of the Cinema History
The father of the reckless and spoiled playboy Phillipe Greenleaf (Maurice Ronet) sends Tom Ripley (Alain Delon) to Rome to bring his son back to San Francisco, promising a fee of US$ 5,000.00 to Tom if he succeeds. Phillipe uses and humiliates Tom, without any intention of returning to USA, and Phillipe’s fiancée Marge Duval (Marie Laforêt) feels sorry for the bad treatment spent for Tom. When the father of Phillipe considers the deal off, Tom kills Phillipe and assumes his identity. When the snoopy friend of Phillipe, Freddy Miles (Bill Kearns), chases Phillipe, Tom Ripley feels pressed and also kills Freddy, using Phillipe as escape goat for the murder and Marge to reach Phillipe inheritance.

The cult “Plein Soleil” is the movie that projected the great French actor Alain Delon to the world. This stunning thriller is engaging even when the viewer watches it for the fourth time (my case) and the scene on the yacht when Tom Ripley wants to dump the body of Phillipe in the ocean is still very impressive in the present days. I have not watched all the movies of René Clément, but “Plein Soleil” is certainly his most known and important movie in his filmography, actually a masterpiece of the genre. The plot is awesome, with one of the most impressive characters of the cinema history, the cold blooded killer Tom Ripley, and even Hollywood was not able to destroy this story with the remake “The Talented Mr. Ripley”, with the also excellent Matt Demon. My vote is nine.
