El amigo americano (1977)
El marchante americano Tom Ripley (Hopper) intenta poner a prueba la integridad de Jonatham Zimmermann, un humilde fabricante de marcos (Bruno Ganz) que padece una enfermedad terminal. Ripley le presenta a un gánster que le ofrece mucho dinero a cambio de que trabaje para él como asesino a sueldo. En un principio rechaza la oferta, pero, al pensar en el precario futuro que espera a su mujer y a su hijo después de su muerte, acaba aceptando el trato.
