1960’s Plein Soleil has been restored and re-released to commemorate its 65th anniversary, as well as celebrate the work of Alain Delon, who passed away last year.

Tom Ripley (Alain Delon) travels to Italy to visit his playboy friend Phillippe Greenleaf (Maurice Ronet) and Phillippe’s new fiancée, Marge Duval (Marie Laforêt).

What Phillippe doesn’t know is that his father has paid Tom to convince his son to abandon Europe and return to his family responsibilities in San Francisco.

But when Phillippe’s family cuts off their funding of Tom’s extravagant lifestyle during his covert mission, he discovers another way to maintain his newfound standard of living.

The talented Ripley is brought to enigmatic life on the screen in Plein Soleil (a.k.a. Purple Noon), an exquisite thriller wherein the murderous social climber is embodied by an unnerving Alain Delon. The character was later successfully embodied by Matt Damon, John Malkovich and Andrew Scott, among others – but it’s Delon who set the high water mark for the screen version of Patricia Highsmith’s famous literary creation.
