A favorite film of mine. And perhaps the first time I became aware of Philip Seymour Hoffman as an actor, though I had seen him on stage before that, without knowing it.
I loved this so much! The Talented Mr Ripley is one of my favorite movies and this was such an immersive read. Marge Sherwood's style is my ideal summer vibe. You've inspired me to fix myself an Americano tonight and pretend I'm an idle rich young person summering in Italy without a care in the world.
All that sex in a glass in that movie! It still gives me the creeps when in the sailboat PSH says “ Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.” Shivers and needs a campari and orange.
Truly a great film - I highly recommend a read of the five Ripley books (“the Ripliad”) as well. Great summer reads!
Thanks, Amy! I will definitely add to my Summer Reading list.
Well that settles it, I need to see The Talented Mr Ripley, I need to go to Italy and I need to try these recipes 😉 Great edition of Last call

I remember him in SCENT OF A WOMAN (“Hoo-Ahh!!!”) playing one of the entitled private school kids.

Thank you, Anna, and you've got the right idea about an Americano and dreaming of Italia.

There are a lot of great lines/quotes in the picture but PSH's "Tommy, Tommy, Tommy..." is just perfect (and perfectly creepy).
I love The Talented Mr. Ripley, and now I definitely need to watch it again.
Can’t wait for Drinking Italian!
Thanks, Rebecca! I know at least two people who fired up the movie this week because of this dispatch.
