On this day, October 19, 1984, The Razor’s Edge was released, directed by John Byrum and starring Bill Murray, Theresa Russell, Catherine Hicks, and a talented ensemble cast, including Bill’s brother Brian Doyle-Murray. Adapted from the novel by W. Somerset Maugham, the film was a dramatic departure from Murray’s usual comedic roles, showcasing his versatility. Despite a $12 million budget, The Razor’s Edge struggled at the box office, grossing only $6.6 million. Although not a commercial success, the film gained respect for Murray’s performance in a serious role.

Do you think The Razor’s Edge deserves more recognition today, or was it an underrated experiment in Bill Murray’s career?
