Tom Ripley is a talented mimic, moocher, forger and all-around criminal improviser; but there's more to Tom Ripley than even he can guess.

Purple Noon Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
Its mechanical aesthetic suggests that rather than having to sublimate what remorse Tom Ripley might feel toward his actions, he simply doesn't experience any.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Condemned now to exist in the shadow of a talented impersonator, this earlier adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's remarkable novel has been all too readily overlooked, despite possessing considerable charms of its own.
Scene-Stealers.com
Eric Melin
Clément's strategy is to film Ripley's actions with little editorializing and the film is both laid-back and taut at the same time, especially in the second half of the film as the stakes get higher and it becomes more of a thriller.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The sinister occurs within the confines of the beautiful, like a disease eating away a beautiful tree from the inside.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
A gem of a psychological thriller, with Alain Delon and Marie Laforet in top form, Rene Clement's French version of Patricia Highsmith's noir novel is far superior to Minghella's 1999 remake.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
'Talented Mr. Ripley' with a French accent; stylish and memorable
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Alain Delon, in his third film, gives a staggering chilly performance as the psychopathic killer.
Lawrence Journal-World
Dan Lybarger
A fascinating earlier version of 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' that features a much different murderous protagonist.
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
Tom isn't your average Hitchcock hero, he has the advantage of being a sociopath
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The best thing about the film is the way the plot devises a way for Ripley to create a perfect cover-up, a substitution of bodies.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Rene Clement's subversive direction makes us root for Delon to pull off a tricky tightrope disguise as suspicious police pursue him from hotel to apartment and town to town.
