Synopsis

The Razor's Edge is a 1984 American historical drama film directed and co-written by John Byrum starring Bill Murray, Theresa Russell, Catherine Hicks, Denholm Elliott, Brian Doyle-Murray, and James Keach. The film follows Larry Darrell, a traumatized World War I veteran who goes on a quest for meaning that leads him through Paris and to the Indian Himalayas. It is an adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's 1944 novel of the same name, the second after Edmund Goulding's 1946 film. The book's epigraph is dramatized as advice from the Katha Upanishad: "The path to salvation is narrow and as difficult to walk as a razor's edge."
