The Talented Mr. Ripley

The Talented Mr. Ripley is a 1999 American psychological thriller film written for the screen and directed by Anthony Minghella. An adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's 1955 novel of the same name, the film stars Matt Damon as Tom Ripley, Jude Law as Dickie Greenleaf, Gwyneth Paltrow as Marge Sherwood and Cate Blanchett as Meredith Logue, Philip Seymour Hoffman as Freddie Miles.

Apart from the beginning scenes filmed in New York City, the movie was shot entirely on location in Italy. The cliffside resort town of Positano and various villages on the islands of Ischia and Procida, near Naples, were used to represent the fictional town of "Mongibello".[3] The scenes taking place in San Remo were actually filmed in Anzio, a resort-town near Rome. Famous locations included the Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps and Piazza di Spagna in Rome, and the Caffè Florian in the Piazza San Marco, Venice.[3]

In October 2017, former New York Times reporter Sharon Waxman wrote on TheWrap that, when she looked into the allegations of sexual misconduct by Harvey Weinstein in 2004, Russell Crowe and Damon made direct phone calls to her to vouch for the head of Miramax Italy, Fabrizio Lombardo, whom she suspected of having "no film experience" and whose "real job was to take care of Weinstein’s women needs" in Europe.[105][106][107] Damon responded in an interview with Deadline, "For the record, I would never, ever, ever try to kill a story like that... It’s not something I would do, for anybody". He said that he had known Lombardo "in a professional capacity" while working on The Talented Mr. Ripley, so he called the reporter and relayed his experience with Lombardo at Weinstein's request. "That was the extent of it....I’m sure I mentioned to her that I didn’t know anything about the rest of her piece, because I didn’t."[108] Waxman has since endorsed Damon’s statement on Twitter.[109] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Damon

He became a 'family man' (or at least cultivated image of) very quickly after Talented Mr Ripley.and (as discussed on Voat and elsewhere online), wife Luciana is a former escort.

Was she once one of Weinstein's girls, we have to wonder?
