At the time, the stori simmered and boiled wh sensatnal headl of sex viancy and homosexual crimaly. ” The New Yorker lled Ripley “one of the most repellent and fascatg characters” of the era, notg that Tom “kills one young man, for whom he feels a strong homosexual attachment.

But the novel and the crime stori also reflected one of more pellg ias about sexualy the Cold War: the uncertati of homosexualy self. The study found that homosexual activi among men were much more mon than prevly believed, stg doubts about the standard theori of the time that homosexualy was an aberrant ndn among a mory of men.

But was not only what the Ksey’s study revealed that was unsettlg, was also what ma uncerta: that even the seemgly normal and ngenial neighbor or -worker might be a homosexual (or at least engage homosexual practic).

In this light, homosexuals, like Communists, were creasgly unrstood as a vast, uncipherable work of viants that threatened Cold War life. The recent popular seri The Assassatn of Gianni Versace by Ryan Murphy, which fictnalized the btal killg of gay and straight men across the untry by Andrew Cunanan the 1990s, is but the most recent rnatn of the figure the prs and fictn where sexual cefulns, vlence, and those “strange timaci” between men ntue to be a pellg and unsettlg story of Amerin crime. Dickie is taken aback, but he don't seem upset at the nfirmatn that Tom is gay.

Homophobia and homoeroticism The Talented Mr. Ripley tak place 1958, a time when wasn't allowed or safe for men to be openly gay the Uned Stat and many other untri. Tom Ripley, as a young gay man who grew up poverty, has none of the protectns of wealth that uld keep him safe om society's prejudic.

For example, one shockg scene of homophobia when the tective om Rome nontatnally ask Tom if he's homosexual.

The movie don't shy away om the unrlyg, homoerotic them, such as the moment when Tom asks if he n get Dickie's bathtub and Dickie fully nsirs before sayg no. And androgyno-voiced Chet Baker's versn of "My Funny Valente" — a recurrg song throughout the film — fully plays to the homoeroticism that driv The Talented Mr.
