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.
