The Very Edge

One gets the impression that when they hired David Lee to compose the music they just told him that they wanted it loud so people wouldn't take too much notice what was going on on the screen.This film just piles on cliché after cliché.The dye which Brett manages to cover with makeup.He manages to follow Heywood to the zoo.Then,like all screen maniacs he escaped from prison,totally unexplained.Every character in the film seems to have a screw loose.What is the final shot of the film all about,why does he clasp Heywoods shoes to his chest?Is he a secret foot fetishists? Richard Todd,approaching the end of his film career looks rather bemused by it all.Anne Heywood does the best she can with a fatherless part.Brett does what all screen sex maniacs do,he looks very maniacal.
