Author Patricia Highsmith, on whose novel "Plein soleil" was based, expressed satisfaction with the film, which she called "very beautiful to the eye and interesting for the intellect," and with Alain Delon's performance as Tom Ripley. She was, however, disappointed with the film's ending, calling it "a terrible concession to so-called public morality."

Hickcock in Italy with a French accent

The fact that "Purple Moon" plays well after almost thirty years is a testament to French director Rene Clement's clean, objective direction and his faithful adherence to the Hitchcock formula. Pretty poor boy goes after everything pretty rich boy has, including his yacht and his girl friend in this tightly focused semi-thriller. We see once again (cf., Polanski's "Knife in the Water" (1962) and the early Nicole Kidman vehicle "Dead Calm" (1989)) that some very bad things that can happen when you get two men and one woman on a yacht in the middle of nowhere.

Charming locales and a clever ending make this a treat to watch.
