Privacy Details. Edge of Doom. Edge of Doom is a 1950 film noir shot in black and white. The film was directed by Mark Robson. The screenplay was written by Philip Yordan (with uncredited writing from screenwriters Ben Hecht and Charles Brackett). The film is based on a novel by Leo Brady. Cinematography by Academy Award winner Harry Stradling Sr. The story concerns a young mentally disturbed man, Martin Lynn (Farley Granger), who goes on a rampage after his sick mother dies. One of the man's biggest beefs is with the Catholic Church who, in addition to slighting him when his mother needed a priest, once refused to bury his father years earlier because he committed suicide. The man, blaming the environment he lives in, goes on a rampage taking revenge on his cheap boss, a mortician and a priest, Father Kirkman (Harold Vermilyea), who refuses to give his poor mother a big funeral. He begins his rampage by killing the hard-line Catholic priest, who slighted him, by beating him with a heavy crucifix. Later, another young priest, Father Roth (Dana Andrews), suspects the young man, now arrested for another crime, for the killing. as Father Thomas Roth as Martin Lynn as Rita Conroy, Martin's girlfriend as Lieutenant Mandel as Craig as Julie as Irene, Craig's girlfriend as 1st Detective as 2nd Detective as Father Kirkman as Mrs. Pearson as Mrs. Jeanette Moore as George, a Priest narrated to.

A dark toned story of an act of violence which pursues- on the surface- the aftermath of a crime, but is more fundamentally concerned with the Catholic Church's redemption of a soul. Martin Lynn, whose father had been a jailbird, whose mother had been worn down by poverty, and who is himself resentful of the Catholic faith in which he had been reared, kills impulsively the priest to whom he had turned in regard to his mother's funeral. As Martin is victimized by fear, by self-pity, by hate, and by the desire to see his mother have a fine funeral which he cannot afford, the police continue their prosecution of the case and Father Roth, a younger priest, who suspects Martin, hopes to secure his confession before the police reach him. And at the close, it is a victory for the Church as Martin leaves his mother's bier to turn himself in. An unpleasant story, though a holding one, which will have strong publisher pressure and the endorsement of the Thomas More Book Club. Edge of Doom.

Bleak, often suffocating Christian noir nevertheless earns points for the relentless nihilism of its approach: Human institutions -- cops, employers, the funeral industrial complex, even the church -- will inevitably fail you, so you might as well turn to God. I couldn't even be bothered to come up with a good pun to start this review with. I suppose Edge Of Poo-m would have been nearest. But what a massive disappointment Mark Robson's noir turned out to be. A piss-poor morality tale loosely based on Crime And Punishment, it is almost an hour and a half of Farley Granger walking around telling everyone that he's going to give his mum a big funeral. Granger is given such a strange central character for the central role of a noir. Sure, there have been many unsympathetic villains in these types of films over the decades. but he's such an irredeemably snivelling, charmless, stupid and selfish pillock that you cannot possibly root for… Earliest(?) example of the miniscule subgenre of Catholic noir. Hitchcock's I Confess appeared a few years later, and maybe some Bresson films would qualify. Suppose First Reformed is the genre's modern incarnation? Though he's second-billed, Granger is the star, and he's fantastic, like a more cynical, broken version of the guy he played in They Live by Night . Andrews is asked to do far less, but he's also quite good. Evidently, the film got a bad response when it premiered, and Ben Hecht was brought in to write the opening and closing scenes and beef up Andrews' part. It's hard to imagine how bleak the film would be if it focused even more on Granger. Robson directed many of 's stylized horror films, so it's a little surprising how well he manages to create the feel of dead-end urban life.
