The top mistakes in The Talented Mr. Ripley http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1255 en Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:55:09 +0000 7496 A copy of Miles Davis' album "Tutu" is sitting on a counter. Odd since the recording wasn't made until 1986. 7497 When Marge gets out of the water and climbs the stairs on the sailboat her swimsuit is blue. But when she is on board and we get a close up it is red. 13531 In the scene in Venice where Marge is leaving on the boat with Dickie's father, there is a shot from Tom's point of view looking out onto the water. In the distance a modern crane can be seen on the left - something that the director Mingella himself points out on the DVD commentary. 7502 When Dickie and Ripley are scootering down a little Italian hillside, you can see the shadow of the whole film crew against the hill. 14904 When Dickie and Ripley go to the first jazzclub together and Dickie and the Italian singer invites Ripley to join them on stage, the microphone they're using is entirely misplaced. That type of microphone wasn't even on the market yet.
