The film is based on Patricia Highsmith's novel «Ripley's Game» (1974).
Wim Wenders initially really wanted John Cassavetes to play the role of the main character, Tom Ripley – rumors have it that the screenwriter was strongly impressed by his performance in Roman Polanski's «Rosemary's Baby».
Wenders tried to acquire the rights to several of Highsmith's novels at once, but learned that all the rights already belonged to other directors. When the writer found out about this, she offered the director «Ripley's Game», which had not been published at that time.
Patricia Highsmith disliked the production from the very beginning, as she felt it distorted the image of Ripley. Only after seeing the film in a cinema did she admit that "The American Friend" was magnificent.
Wim Wenders planned to give the roles of all the foreigners in the film to established directors. Directors such as Nicholas Ray, Samuel Fuller, and Gérard Blain tried their hand at acting.
Dennis Hopper, who replaced John Cassavetes in the role of Tom Ripley, brought a number of new ideas to the filming process, in particular, he came up with the title "The American Friend" instead of the working title "Framed".
