5.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful film..., April 15, 2007

This review is from: The Naked Edge [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Spain ] (DVD)

Aside from being the great Gary Cooper's last film, "The Naked Edge", directed by Michael Anderson, is a fine suspense film with a terrific cast, including the great Deborah Kerr, Eric Portman, Diane Cilento, Hermione Gngold & Michael Wilding. A DVD, playable in America, is sorely missing, despite so much garbage that's out on disc. Where's the DVD? Anyone else agree...?

5.0 out of 5 stars the naked edge, June 2, 2007

This review is from: The Naked Edge [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Spain ] (DVD)

though the dvd is from spain it has an english sound-track and plays very well. the plot is very good with enough twists and turns and edge-of-your seat suspense to keep you guessing almost till the very end of the movie. excellent portrayals by each of the actors and actresses lead to the shattering climax. a very definite must for any true collector.

This review is from: The Naked Edge [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Naked Edge was Gary Cooper's last movie, which is what attracted me to it, he being my favorite actor. The story has potential, but the movie focuses too much on the mood swings of Deborah Kerr on whether her husband (Cooper) is a criminal, which got tiresome to me. I think the music and ambiguous shots (not knowing whether it's Cooper or another person walking, for instance) try too hard to create an effect of terror, which would probably be more effective if they were used more sparingly and the story clipped along at a faster pace. It seems like it tries too hard to manipulate/persuade you. It was probably an attempt to capitalize on the success of Psycho, which had come out the year before. At least it didn't have the perverse content of Psycho (which I've never seen and don't intend to, due to its content). (By the way, I've heard a little of the music of Psycho, and the music on The Naked Edge is probably intended to imitate it. Also, the writer of The Naked Edge had adapted Psycho from a book to a movie.)
