Dragon’s Domain Records presents the original motion picture soundtrack to THE RAZOR’S EDGE, featuring music composed by Jack Nitzsche for the 1984 period drama directed by John Byrum, written by W. Somerset Maugham, Byrum and Bill Murray, starring Bill Murray, Theresa Russell, Catherine Hicks, James Keach, Brian Doyle-Murray, Peter Vaughan, Stephen Davies and Denholm Elliott. Released in 1984, THE RAZOR’S EDGE was a remake of the 1946 classic directed by Edmund Goulding, starring Tyrone Power, Gene Tierney and John Payne. Both film versions were based on the 1944 novel by W. Somerset Maugham, which tells the story of Larry Darrell, an American soldier who is traumatized by his experiences in World War I and sets off in search of a transcendent meaning in his life. It is a journey that takes him from Chicago to France, inspiring him to visit India and on to Nepal, where Larry finds spiritual help from a lama. When he returns to Paris, Larry finds his old friends and discovers that everyone has changed in his absence. Considered a misfire in its day, the film features an early dramatic performance by Murray that anticipates the kind of work he would be respected for more in his later career.
