I spent the morning yesterday helping an Eagle Scout rebuild some bridges on a local walk, so I couldn’t move for a few hours, which was good, because one of those Samsung movie channels put up this old Bill Murray movie. Actually it’s a remake, based on a Somerset Maughan story, but anyway. I missed the first few minutes and was a little confused when I tuned in and they were medics in WWI. I had completely forgotten most of the movie.
The movie is “The Razor’s Edge”
A friend of his dies and he bounces around for a while trying to figure out life. What I really like about the movie is how Murray rejects the rich life that he could have, if he married the right girl. The part I remember is when he treks to the mountains in Nepal, for the usual reason people do that.
He uses one of his signature lines, a theme from many of his movies and characters. Bill Murray almost always plays Bill Murray.
