'Purple Noon'
It's the tale of one Tom Ripley, who's commissioned by a San Francisco industrialist to travel to Europe, find his prodigal son and bring him home. Ripley tracks down Philippe Greenleaf in the Italian port town of Mongibello, near Naples. He takes to the glorious sun-soaked Mediterranean life, and instead of convincing Greenleaf to return home, befriends him and settles in to stay, putting off the father's requests for updates. The friendship takes a chilling turn when the father cuts off Ripley's funds and Ripley decides to maintain his new lifestyle at any cost. -- Eric Brace
