Watch: Der amerikanische Freund 1977 123movies, Full Movie Online – Tom Ripley has a sweet deal with an art forger. The forger creates the paintings; Tom sells them. But another criminal business associate wants Tom to go in for an even riskier enterprise: murder. Tom suggests his associate ask a local picture framer instead. That man has a fatal disease, or so it’s rumored. More, he has a wife and kid that surely he wouldn’t want to leave penniless. Let this picture framer be a hit man, and no one will suspect. The terminally ill craftsman may agree to the misdeed, and several more, but he’ll end up needing Tom Ripley in a pinch..
Plot: Tom Ripley, an American who deals in forged art, is slighted at an auction in Hamburg by picture framer Jonathan Zimmerman. When Ripley is asked by gangster Raoul Minot to kill a rival, he suggests Zimmerman, and the two, exploiting Zimmerman’s terminal illness, coerce him into being a hitman.

Reviews:

Like a good forgery, maybe more fun to make than to view…
While I can appreciate some of the high rankings, honestly the film for me was more fun than fascinating. On top of that, I suspect it was even more fun to make. I’ll be honest, I’ve not read this, nor any of Patricia Highsmith’s novels, so you can use that to filter out my review if you wish.

Hopper is engaging to watch with his cavalier craziness, like watching someone flip 10 heads in a row tossing a coin, or more like 50…it gets to feel more than unexpected, but a little creepy. And yet his charisma works against that tension.

Ganz goes through a couple of quick conversions, not only the committing to the crime, but the fast-binding friendship with Hopper’s Ripley. Believe it or Not.

Mostly you are best off suspending disbelief and going along for the various rides. I guess I do like the idea that professional experts in both art and medicine are susceptible to deceit.
