Il Talento Di Mr. Ripley

Plot

It's time for Dickie Greenleaf to return home to the United States from Italy. His old schoolfriend, Tom Ripley, is despatched to bring him back. Tom, having few prospects at home, discovers that he like the lifestyle as much as Dickie, and seeks to insinuate himself into Dickie's life. Tricky thing is, Dickie is bored with Ripley. Ripley's solution is relatively straightforward: he kills Greenleaf and takes over his identity.
