Synopsis:

Tom Ripley is sent to Europe by Mr. Greenleaf to fetch his spoiled, playboy son, Philippe, and bring him back home to the States. In return, Tom will receive $5,000. Philippe toys with Tom, pretending he will go back home, but has no intentions of leaving his bride to be, Marge, and honoring his father's wishes. After some time passes, Mr. Greenleaf considers the mission a failure and cuts Tom off. Tom, in desperation, kills Philippe, assumes his identity, and lives the life of a rich playboy. However, he will need all his conman abilities to keep Philippe's friends and the police off the trail.

Passion at ten. Envy at eleven. Murder at noon! A handsome, wealthy bachelor has a sexy girlfriend and all the finest things money can buy. His envious friend, on the other hand, has nothing but his charm, good looks and a wickedly sinister plot involving murder and a plan to take over the rich man's life! Tensions mount as the deadly game unfolds and the murderer struggles to stay one step ahead of the police - and the ever-growing suspicions of the dead man's friends! Rene Clement's thrilling adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel 'The Talented Mr Ripley'.

Tom Ripley and Philippe Greenleaf are lately inseparable friends. They're both idling in Europe, but on papa Greenleaf's dime. Philippe's fiancée Marge feels sorry for Tom but resents his presence, while Philippe's other friend, Freddie, considers Tom Ripley a worthless moocher. But there's more to Tom Ripley, the mimic, the forger, the talented criminal improviser, than anyone, even Tom Ripley himself, can guess.
