About Purple Noon

Purple Noon (French: Plein soleil, lit. 'Full sun'; also known as Blazing Sun, Lust for Evil, and Talented Mr. Ripley) is a 1960 psychological thriller co-written and directed by René Clément, based upon Patricia Highsmith's 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. It stars Alain Delon (in his first major film role) as Tom Ripley, along with Marie Laforêt and Maurice Ronet. In the film, Ripley is a young American con artist sent to Italy to convince a wealthy playboy, Philippe Greenleaf (Ronet), to return home. As Tom becomes obsessed with Philippe's luxurious lifestyle, he devises a plan to take over Philippe's life. Purple Noon received positive reviews and made Delon an international star. A second adaptation of the novel, The Talented Mr. Ripley, was released in 1999.
