Description:
The chameleon-like Tom is sent by a rich American to retrieve his dilettante son, Dickie Greenleaf, from Italy. When Tom cannot win Dickie over, he kills him and assumes his identity.

Qvamp says:

While Tom does not come out, there are enough clues dropped to give us a good idea that he is not straight.

This is not a positive portrayal of gays, as Tom is simply a shallow, sociopathic murderer
