On arrival in Italy, Tom, a real chameleon, ingratiated himself with Dickie and his fascinating girlfriend, Marge Sherwood (Gwyneth Paltrow), and was soon accepted into their inner circle. He was attracted to the impetuous handsome Dicki and charmed by the privileged lifestyle. But Ripley's deep-seated dissatisfaction with his own background, life of poverty and his being a real nobody began gnawing at him and his growing desire to maintain the new wealthy lifestyle was an overpoise to his judgement.
