In our first full episode, we review the fascinating Purple Noon (1960). This is the original adaptation of the 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. It was adapted again in 1999 with Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Gwyneth Paltrow. We came prepared to talk about all three versions. How does the 1960 version stack up? Does it stand the test of time as a character study? How does it address the complex sexuality of Tom Ripley? Tune in and find out.
What a great way to start out the new show!
