| Movie Description Based on Patricia Highsmith's novel of the same name, Minghella's moody follow-up to his Oscar-winning THE ENGLISH PATIENT concerns Tom Ripley, a poor New Yorker, who is sent to Italy by the wealthy Mr. Greenleaf in order to bring back his spoiled son, Dickie. Once in Italy, Tom charms his way into the home of Dickie and his girlfriend Marge, where he begins to get a taste of wealthy living. When Tom begins to wear out his welcome, he takes drastic actions to ensure that he will never have to return to the life that he left behind.
Notes Theatrical release date: December 1999. THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY was shot throughout Italy, as well as in New York City, following six months of scouting locations. The film is a remake of Rene Clement's PURPLE NOON. The role of Meredith was expanded after Minghella met with Cate Blanchett, who was willing to take a small part because she was a fan of Minghella's TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY. Patricia Highsmith's novels have been the basis for several films, including STRANGERS ON A TRAIN by Alfred Hitchcock.

Reviews  Suspense! Thrills! Impersonation at its best! 1 of 3 people found this review helpful. This is a top of the line movie. In this suspensful thriller, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Tom has everything going for him and quite intelligent. Needing attention and funds, he kills Dickie and assumes his identity. Dickie's father is a shipping Tycoon. During this movie you will see Tom performs and studies to impersonate Dickie. The music in this movie is really great and My Funny Valentine Music Video is found on this VHS. Review ID: 10000000002071686 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
