The most important and influential film of my life.
Yeah, way up there for me, too. And Groundhog Day.
Tyrone Power was in the film, not Bill Murray. Love them both, but I thought the Bill Murray version spoke to me more. That scene where he starts burning the sacred book just blew me away.
@marsharebel That was key for me too. Right after that he stares out at the grand majesty of the mountains around him. It must have given him the feeling of being so small in such a grand place. Perhaps also that our place is not above the world, but in it, serving and doing good.
Tyrone did speak about what changed his life in the movie it was a man giving his life up to save him during the war.
This was a strange interview that seemed all over he place, dont know if he was on something or just shallow.😮
W. Somerset Maugham met Maharshi Ramana in India and was inspired to write his masterpiece. Terence Stamp lived the spiritual quest of the novel in real life.
I love “The Razor’s Edge” for Tyrone’s character in search of authenticity, purpose, and the deeper meaning of life. I wish there had been an even stronger spiritual presence in the movie. Perhaps that is what Terence wanted as well.
It makes me/us think.
Terry is a very real man read he's books and understand him instead of making silly comments.
If General Zod says its good, then it is good!!
The scene in the cage covered it.
The one with Bill Murray!!!
Chris Weidner older one.
I've seen them both and I preferred the Bill Murray version. The main reason was that the Bill Murray version took the time to follow the character, (Larry) through his experience in WWI so I understood what changed in his life. This was missing from the 1946 version. I felt there was a disconnect in terms of the characters motivation and what drove him to his quest for meaning in his life?
@@maj.d.sasterhikes9884 when you say version that says it all. it was a poor flanker to a masterpiece
@@mdo5121 If you're referring to the 1946 version as a masterpiece, then I disagree. I think the 1984 adaptation of Somerset Maugham’s book was better. It was interesting to watch the older one with Tyrone Power, (I found it for a dollar on VHS at a yard sale) but still prefer the later movie with Bill Murray.
I always thought that Bill Murray was wring for the character. Maybe Keanu Reeves, not Bill Maury. But I love Bill Murray, and could understand why he would want to okay the character of Larry, but too old for the part, maybe?
Remake it with Keanu Reaves before he gets to old.
Keanu would be good in that story. But he’s already nearly 60.

Stamp admits that he didn't understand the story, and figured out later that the thing that enlightens Larry Darrell just isn't there in the film or in the novel. He's right. The reader or the viewer must fill in that part of the story for themselves. I think Larry represented a kind of person that Maugham knew and admired, but could not fully understand. Someone far from Maugham's sybaritic lifestyle.
But it is in the film. Larry has a profound experience of God-Consciousness while on the mountain in India.
And the guru in the film acknowledges that epiphany.
Very honest, heart-felt personality.
The Razor's Edge will always remind me of my mother... we both love this movie for very different reasons. Spectacular film.
Love the movie, but Stamp just wasted lots of my time.
Jesus Terence, could he have been anymore mentally distant and vague during this whole introduction. I mean he sounds like he couldn't have even described the film summation if it was written on a dvd jacket for him.
So all of that dramatic pausing and appearance of profundity was simply just about how much of a "thing" he had for Gene Tierney? Wow.
Gene Tierney...yeah!
She was an extraordinary beauty. But with such a cold and shallow heart. The opposite was Sophie, who was loving and kind.
