Movie Reviews of The Razor's Edge
Movie Review: Seeker, visionary.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite movie of all time. It is intellectually, artistically, soulfully, authentic, honest, rare, uplifting, and truly divine. A masterpiece.
BRAVO!

Movie Review: The title says it all!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just think about the title. Have you ever heard the expression "Walking the razors edge?" That is what Larry in the movie was looking for. He was looking for self-realization and god-realization. His journey began in the war. Why was he alive and others died? What was his purpose? It had to be more than this daily existance. His experiences had given him reason to ponder more than the ordinary life. He had to find the finer path to walk, that razors edge. Not quite here and not quite there. With what he learned he also was trying to help others as well. The coin with Sophies husband got him back on his feet. The invitation before the death of the Uncle. Anyway, This is one heck of a movie and I would recommend it highly. Movie Review: Still moves me.
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie in the late 80's as a late, late show. I then took 12 months of looking in every book store to find a copy of the book. I was young and lost. This movie spoke to me and told me it was alright to feel the things I felt. I have just watched it again and it still talks to me. I shared tonight's experience with my husband and close friends. They did not understand my feelings for the movie but still enjoyed it. I am now going to read the book again (I lost the book twice and had to hunt to purchase two more copies!) I am also waiting in anticipation of the DVD release.
Watch it and be moved!
Movie Review: Why isn't this out on DVD? (Skip the Bill Murray version!)
Summary: 5 Stars
This 1946 version of "The Razor's Edge" is FAR superior to the 1980s Bill Murray version. Nothing against Murray, but we was WRONG in the lead. The original 1946 version was moving. It was acted brilliantly, directed with love, filmed in beautiful shades or grey, and hauntingly scored. Why isn't this out on DVD? Its a real shame that some studios keep some films hostage and won't release them on DVD. The book is literally impossible to film, yet the 1946 version makes a successful effort. Its a very moving, spiritual movie that I would reccomend to anyone. See it!Movie Review: Worth watching but not buying
Summary: 3 Stars
Having watched the movie directly subsequent to reading the wonderful text, I knew that the film version would leave something to be desired, but I didn't know it would not only abridge the book, but alter many scenes as well -- for the worse. The first 30 minutes were superb -- as was Clifton Webb as Elliott Templeton. Tyrone Power just didn't seem like the right match to me -- he was perhaps a trifle guarded and meticulous in his portrayal of the winsome and quixotic Larry Darrell. Also, too many totally unnecessary, not to mention disconcerting, deviations from the text result as well. These include, but are not limited to: Larry's supposedly rough and bearded appearance when he returns from India (he comes back not only clean shaven but in a suit), Isabel (instead of Larry) recommends the vulgar bar where they meet Sophie, Isabel leaves to the dentist AFTER (not before) Sophie arrives, Larry accuses Isabel of getting Sophie drunk (instead of Maugham), Isabel and Gray arrive before Elliott dies (instead of after), and last but certainly not least, Suzanne Rouvier, a rather paramount character in the novel, is conspicuously absent from the ENTIRE movie. Overall, I found it worth watching, yet hardly riveting or true to the text -- to put it mildly.
