Industry Reviews
"...Clearly a classic of psychological suspense....PURPLE NOON belongs to Delon....His catlike grace, aura of danger, lonely vulnerability and sexual magnetism make him a most compelling antihero..."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (06/28/1996)
"[S]uspenseful, scenic, cynical, and eminently watchable."
Premiere - Andy Webster (07/01/2004)
"Directed at mercilessly cool, wickedly tense pace by Rene Clement....Alain Delon has never looked so much like a saint made of ice."
Uncut - Uncut Staff (09/01/2004)
"...[A] sensual suspense picture..." -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
USA Today - Mike Clark (06/28/1996)
