Pass it on
The Razor's Edge
51Watch it awake.
He leaves the fortune waiting at home, and a friend falls while he is gone looking.
The review
The fortune is waiting after the war, and he will not take it. Tyrone Power goes looking for a meaning instead. A friend falls while he is gone. Gene Tierney is in it. Maugham appears as a character, the author inside his own tale. Adult enough. The looking does not arrive with a finished faith.
That fallen friend is the line I kept. The looking may be honest. The absence still has a person in it. Among the larger grosses, so the unrest sold tickets. Watch it if you have wanted to leave a comfortable life. Don't watch it as proof the leaving leaves nobody behind.

Live Historic number 51. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Household and Republic and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Spartacus
63 instead of 51
Spartacus is still a drama film, and it scores 63 instead of 51. What you gain is industry: Training, marching, and feeding an army of the escaped are shown as labor.
