Purple Noon
Purple Noon (French: Plein soleil; Italian: Delitto in pieno sole; also known as Full Sun, Blazing Sun, Lust for Evil, and Talented Mr. Ripley) is a 1960 crime thriller film directed by René Clément, based on the 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith.
Purple Noon stars Alain Delon (in his first major role), alongside Marie Laforêt and Maurice Ronet; Romy Schneider, Delon's girlfriend at the time, makes a cameo. Delon plays Tom Ripley, a young American 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 a star. A second adaptation of the novel, The Talented Mr. Ripley, was released in 1999.
The young American Tom Ripley has been sent to Italy by the father of a wealthy playboy, Philippe Greenleaf, to persuade him to return to San Francisco and take over the family business. However, Philippe has no intention of doing so.
Tom becomes fixated on Philippe and his fiancée, Marge, and covets their life of luxury in the seaside town of Mongibello. Philippe grows bored with Tom and becomes cruel and abusive to him. During a yachting trip, Philippe strands Tom in the dinghy and accidentally leaves him to drift for hours in the sun.
Tom devises a plan to kill Philippe and steal his identity. He leaves evidence of Philippe's philandering for Marge to find. Finding that Tom has obtained his bank records, Philippe seeks to draw him out. After Marge goes ashore following an argument with Philippe, Philippe confronts Tom, who admits his plan. Philippe offers Tom a substantial sum to leave him and Marge alone, but Tom rebuffs it, saying he is interested in far more.
Tom stabs Philippe, wraps his corpse in canvas and weighs it with an anchor. He is preparing to dump it overboard when he is hit by the ship's boom and knocked into the sea, taking Philippe's corpse with him. Tom makes it back onto the ship.
Returning to Mongibello alone, Tom informs Marge that Philippe has decided to stay away. He goes to Rome, skillfully replaces Philippe's picture with his own in Philippe's passport, masters forging Philippe's signature, and takes over his wealth, identity, and lifestyle.
