The Razor's Edge

Based on William Somerset Maugham's novel, THE RAZOR'S EDGE follows a young man's search for identity. After experiencing WWI, veteran Larry Darrell (Bill Murray) seeks spiritual peace and recovery. After leaving his fiancee (Catherine Hicks), he travels to war-torn Europe and finally to the mystic Himalayas, where he eventually finds what he's looking for in manual labour and the wisdom of an Indian guru. However, Larry realises that he can no longer resume the life he left behind, and that he must end his relationship with his fiancee if he is to reach his goal. But he finds love with another woman (Theresa Russell), and she causes new trouble for Larry. A labour of love for Murray, he wrote the script with director John Byrum and demonstrates previously unseen dramatic strength.

  With the excellent novel and great Tyrone Power version of this film , this is drivel
  
  This is a disastrous remake of a Tyrone Power classic from the mid-1940s ( which admittedly is one of my favourite films, so I confess to a certain amount of ... read more »
