	k-punk: Ripley's glam
		Ripley’s trajectory is uncannily in sync with that of Bryan Ferry.
		Ripley is a brilliant improviser, not a planner; the plans he does make are short-term, often leading to more problems than they solve, and he derives enjoyment from cleaning up messes rather than from avoiding them in the first place.
		Ripley’s commission of murders are remarkable for their their coldness and lack of cruelty; famously, Ripley only kills because he needs to, not because he enjoys it.

	CarStuff: Driving Today
		Ripley scraped together some capital (the princely sum of $45), went into business, and by 1901 he was a millionaire when that term really meant something.
		Unfortunately, Ripley had failed to patent his breakthrough properly, and soon copycats were also manufacturing the newfangled "paperclip," competition that proved more than troublesome to the Ripley Paper Clip Manufacturing Company.
		The Panic of 1906 sent the Ripley concern into receivership; the Ripley family fortune was reduced to a pittance, and Thomas A. Ripley, a broken man, would spend the rest of his life in a sanatorium convinced that he was Abraham Lincoln's tailor.

	"Fanshawe's Ghost" by J.M. Tyree
		At the outset of the novel, Ripley is involved in a scam in which he poses as an IRS agent and demands payment on bogus tax adjustments.

	Patricia Highsmith's Thomas Ripley
		Through the years we have had a chance to follow the extraordinarily eccentric life of Patricia Highsmith's Thomas Ripley, who surely must be one of the oddest series figures in crime fiction since Raffles, the gentleman crook, left the scene decades ago.
		Ripley (1955) is truly a masterpiece of crime fiction, one to rival in weirdness Highsmith's first novel, Strangers on a Train, which Alfred Hitchcock made into such a wonderful film.
		Ripley is hired to go to Europe to find the wayward son of a wealthy Boston couple.

	The Talented Mr. Ripley Movie Review
		Ripley" is written to perfection, starting with a long, thorough exposition that leads to a phenomenal climax, followed by probably the most clever, thoughtful ending of the year.
		The film, set in the 1950's follows a young sociopath named Thomas Ripley (Matt Damon) who is persuaded by a man who is impressed with Tom's piano skills, Herbert Greenleaf (James Rebhorn) to go to Italy and retrieve his wealthy, first-class flirt of a son, Dickie (Jude Law).
		Ripley" is similar to last fall's oddball comedy "Being John Malkovich" in a variety of ways, although in "Malkovich," being someone else is as easy as crawling into their brain through a portal, but in "Ripley," you must continue killing and lying to maintain your new identity.

	The BigScreen Cinema Guide: Reader Reviews - The Talented Mr. Ripley
		Ripley are sadly mistaken...First of all, It's not as hyped as The Blair Witch Project.
		He is Thomas Ripley (Matt Damon), and at first glance, he appears to be a simple con artist - but in reality is something more; he doesn't want to swindle the rich out of their money, but would rather live the life of an upper class individual.
		Ripley" work so well is the way it creates tension simply by defining the characters' needs and desires, setting up their relationships with each other, and letting the events grow from there.

	TheMovieBoy Review: The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
		Ripley" soaks you into the story slowly, but surely, until you are completely involved in the goings-on.
		Each one is waiting for Tom Ripley, but Meredith believes he is Dickie, whom Marge has been desperately trying to find since he, more or less, disappeared from her life after taking a trip with Tom.
		Ripley" is a somewhat old-fashioned suspense film that Alfred Hitchcock would have been proud of.

		Ripley - ever a student of human nature - initiates a game to turn a mild and innocent local picture framer into a hit man. The artisan, Jonathan Trevanny, who's dying of cancer, has a wife, young son, and little to leave them.
		No longer is Tom Ripley vulnerable, or wondering about exactly who he is. No stolen identies, no phony back-stories, Tom Ripley now lives openly and well as himself, having made his millions, restored a gorgeous villa in the Veneto, and charmed his way into the heart of a nubile harpsichord prodigy (Chiara Caselli).
		Ripley stares at his enemies as he would an interesting insect, and he stares at his "friends" in much the same way.

	Murder and Impersonation \| Film \| The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
		Ripley (1954) succeeds best as an unforgettably empathetic portrait of the mind and thoughts of Thomas Ripley -- forger, connoisseur, and one of the most fascinating sociopaths in literature.
		Ripley captures both the sparkling surface and the ominous rumblings below, which is why it surpasses an earlier, contemporaneous Ripley adaptation from 1960: Rene Clement's attractive but shallow Purple Noon.
		Ripley." And now, so are film versions that work both as thoughtful reimaginings of their sources and as fine, self-contained movie-going experiences in their own right.

	Biggerboat - The Talented Mr. Ripley
		Enter Thomas Ripley (Damon), a poor New Yorker who, after being mistaken by Dickie’s father for a fellow Princeton alum like Dickie, is sent by the father to bring Dickie back.
		Predictably, Thomas gets caught up in the high life Dickie is living, and fails in his task miserably while endearing himself to Dickie and Marge.
		The homoerotic overtones are handled with subtlety, and Damon does a fantastic and believable job in striking the right balance between Tom’s desires and his nature to be, as Dickie says, "boring," or, to be less tactful, anal-retentive.
