Alain Delon


So basically I was reminiscing about my film class today and one of the films we watched had this hot 60s French actor (who is still acting today), named Alain Delon. The movie is "Purple Noon," and here's the plot synopsis from imdb.com.

"Tom Ripley is sent to Europe by Mr. Greenleaf to fetch his spoiled, playboy son, Philip, and bring him back home to the States. In return, Tom will recieve $5,000. Philip toys with Tom, pretending he will go back home, but has no intentions of leaving his bride to be, Marge, and honoring his father's wishes. After some time passes, Mr. Greenleaf considers the mission a failure and cuts Tom off. Tom, in desperation, kills Philip, assumes his identity, and lives the life of a rich playboy. However, people begin to miss Philip, and start searching for him, but the trail keeps leading to Tom. Soon, a family friend catches on, and Tom finds himself commiting another murder to cover his tracks, and slowly but surely, the police are closing in..."

So basically Alain plays the part of the psychopath that kills his friend. But despite his creepiness he still manages to look oh so good!

We also watched another movie of his called "Le Samurai." He plays the part of an assasin that has the moves of a samurai. But for one job he is seen and the police are now on his tail not to mention the people that hired him now want him dead. Again he looks dang good lookin' in a tailored suit.

But sorry for no having anything else more interesting. I'll add some pictures of him though.
