The story

In 1958 New York City, shipbuilding magnate Herbert Greenleaf, believing Tom Ripley attended Princeton with his son, Dickie, pays Tom $1,000 to travel to Italy and persuade him to return to the United States.

Dickie has impregnated and then spurns Silvana, a local woman who then drowns herself.

Their argument becomes physical, and when the two get into a fight, Tom ends up killing Dickie by repeatedly striking him with an oar.
