Ave Ninchi (14 December 1915 - 10 November 1997) was an Italian supporting actress who played character roles on stage, television, and in over 98 feature films that included Tomorrow Is Too Late (1949) and Louis Malle's Lacombe Lucien (1974). She has worked with some of Italy's top movie stars, including Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni, Alberto Sordi, and Gina Lollobrigida; her performances playing in duo with Aldo Fabrizi and Totò are particularly memorable. Her television career was at its peak during the 1960s and 1970s when she was appearing in some of Italy's top-rated series.

Biography

Ave Ninchi débute au cinéma en 1944 et apparaît dans une centaine de films, italiens majoritairement. S'y ajoutent plusieurs films américains ou français, des coproductions, ainsi que le film britannique Retraite mortelle de Mike Hodges (1972, avec Michael Caine et Mickey Rooney). Son dernier film, sorti en 1974, est Lacombe Lucien (avec Pierre Blaise dans le rôle-titre) de Louis Malle, réalisateur qu'elle retrouve après Le Souffle au cœur (avec Benoît Ferreux et Lea Massari) en 1971.

Parmi ses autres films notables, mentionnons Vivre en paix de Luigi Zampa (1947, avec Aldo Fabrizi) qui lui permet de gagner un ruban d'argent, Gendarmes et voleurs de Mario Monicelli et Steno (1951, avec Totò), Plein soleil de René Clément (1960, avec Alain Delon et Maurice Ronet), ou encore Un cri dans l'ombre de John Guillermin (1968, avec George Peppard et Inger Stevens).

Pour la télévision, entre 1960 et 1979, elle contribue à huit feuilletons, six téléfilms et une série.

Durant sa carrière, Ave Ninchi est également très active au théâtre. Entre autres, elle joue avec Massimo Girotti dans Mademoiselle Julie d'August Strindberg, mise en scène par Luchino Visconti (en 1957), et avec Anna Magnani dans La Louve de Giovanni Verga, mise en scène par Franco Zeffirelli (en 1965).

Elle est la cousine de l'acteur Carlo Ninchi (1897-1974) qu'elle croise dans cinq films, dont Messaline de Carmine Gallone en 1951, avec María Félix dans le rôle-titre. Elle est aussi la cousine de l'acteur Annibale Ninchi. Elle est enfin la mère de l'actrice Marina Ninchi (née en 1940), qui lui consacre une biographie publiée en 2004.

The American Tom Ripley (Delon) has been sent to Italy to persuade his wealthy friend, Philippe Greenleaf (Maurice Ronet), to return to the United States and take over his father's business. Philippe intends to do no such thing and the impoverished Tom enjoys living a life of luxury, so the two men essentially spend money all day and carouse all night. Tom is fixated on Philippe and his girlfriend Marge (Marie Laforêt) and covets the other man's life. Philippe eventually grows bored with his friend's fawning and becomes cruel and abusive to him. The final straw is when, during a yachting trip, Philippe strands Tom in the dinghy and leaves him to lie in the sun for hours.
