| Brief Description: | Rene Clement's psychological thriller, with the young Alain Delon as a
morally bankrupt individual who is stricken with envy of his best
friend. He murders him and then takes over his identity, even becoming
the lover of his friend's girlfriend. Based on Patricia Highsmith's
novel The Talented Mr. Ripley, Purple Noon is a startling and
disturbing film that elicits audience fascination with a cunning
"anti-hero." Stunningly photographed by Henri Decae against the
backgrounds of southern Italy. French with English subtitles. |
