Ellroy Reads – The Talented Mr Ripley by Patricia Highsmith

For the latest episode of Ellroy Reads, I look at one of the all-time great novels of the psychological suspense genre – The Talented Mr Ripley by Patricia Highsmith. I discuss the many actors who have played Tom Ripley on screen, including James Ellroy’s favourite, Alain Delon in Purple Noon. I also argue that Ellroy’s greatest character Dudley Smith, was inspired by Tom Ripley.

I hope you enjoy the episode, and please remember to like, subscribe, comment and share.
