Entertainment Reviews:
PURPLE NOON is as sinister and amoral as the darkest crime thriller -- that it looks like a travelogue makes it all the more unnerving.
A.V. Club
Filmed in sumptuous colour, it's a deliciously amoral thriller with a devilishly attractive star.

There is some good stuff in the first half hour... [But] the film degenerates to cops and robbers.

Rating: 5/5 --
This expertly made film is utterly mesmerising. And its exploration of ruthless ambition is still fiercely timely.

Rating: 3/4 --
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.

Alain Delon excels as gentleman psychopath Tom Ripley in René Clément's beautifully restored classic.

It's Delon -- impossibly beautiful, impossible to read, cold, cool -- who steals the film.
