What decade did the movie "The Talented Mr. Ripley" come out?

The movie The Talented Mr. Ripley came out in the 1990s—the film was released in 1999.

Directed and written by Anthony Minghella, the 1999 psychological thriller adapts Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 novel. Matt Damon plays Tom Ripley, an ambitious con artist sent to Italy to persuade the wealthy Dickie Greenleaf, played by Jude Law, to return home. Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, and Philip Seymour Hoffman also appear.

The film is set mainly in the late 1950s, which can cause confusion about its decade. Its stylish Italian setting and period costumes belong to the story’s world, not the year of production. The movie was filmed largely on location in Italy, including Positano, Ischia, Procida, Rome, and Venice.

The Talented Mr. Ripley was both a critical and commercial success. It received five Academy Award nominations, including Best Supporting Actor for Jude Law and Best Adapted Screenplay. It was also the third major film adaptation of Highsmith’s Ripley story, following Purple Noon in 1960 and The American Friend in 1977.
