novelist somerset maugham wrote himself into his book, 'the razor's edge', and while watching the film it is funny every time someone calls him by name. it's like, what are you doing in there? actor herbert marshall, who i adore, plays 'mr. maugham', steady observer of all the drama swirling around him.standing in the center of all the characters is 'larry' the heroic seeker of truth, who the others either love or hate and never fully understand. tyrone power is just one of a great cast with interesting roles. gene tierney is as crazy beautiful as always but it is anne baxter, as larry's dear friend thrown into despair, that soars above the rest.
