Financial difficulties caused shooting delays which meant director Liliana Cavani had to leave the production before filming had been completed, due to a previous commitment to direct an opera at La Scala in Milan. John Malkovich took over and completed the film, directing around a third of the footage. Consequently, this marks his unofficial debut as a director
John Malkovich remarked in an interview with the BBC that before starring in this film, he came close to directing The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) and that he was in negotiations to obtain the rights to direct a remake of the first "Talented Mr Ripley" adaptation, Purple Noon (1960).
In Patricia Highsmith's original novel, most of the action takes place in France, not Italy, Tom Ripley and Jonathan Trevanny are both married to Frenchwomen who are named Heloise and Simone, not Luisa and Sarah. The character of Reeves is also different, in the novel he is an American fence whose motives are more obscure than they are depicted in the movie.
The film is included on Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" list.
Tom Ripley was previously played by Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley. John Malkovich worked with Damon in Rounders, and Ray Winstone appeared with him in The Departed.
"Tom Ripley: I'm a creation. A gifted improviser. I lack your conscience and when I was young that troubled me. It no longer does. I don't worry about being caught because I don't believe anyone is watching. The world is not a poorer place because those people are dead. It's one less car on the road. It's a little less noise and menace. You were brave today. You put some money away for your family. That's all. Jonathan Trevanny: If you lack my conscience, why did you help me on the train? Tom Ripley: I don't know, but it doesn't surprise me. The one thing I know is we're constantly being born."
"Jonathan Trevanny: Oh, hi. You're here, then. Excellent. We were hoping you'd come. Tom Ripley: Why? Jonathan Trevanny: Well, to... to add spice to the evening. Tom Ripley: Meaning? Jonathan Trevanny: You're a bit of a local personality. Tom Ripley: Meaning? Jonathan Trevanny: People have heard about you. Tom Ripley: Meaning? Jonathan Trevanny: Nothing. Just... nothing."
