The Razor's Edge (1946)

Strange drama directed by Edmund Goulding. It was adapted from the novel by Somerset Maugham, who is actually portrayed as a character in the story. 

Tyrone Power stars as a World War I veteran who puts his marriage on hold to deal with the trauma of military conflict. He goes travelling and “discovers himself” through spiritual enlightenment in India, with big implications for his personal life. 

Gene Tierney plays the woman who loves him and who has no time to acknowledge his PTSD. Instead, she repeatedly tells him he has to help American prosperity by earning as much money as possible. Anne Baxter gives the most interesting performance, as a bereaved woman who becomes an alcoholic. The slightly postmodern trick of having Somerset Maugham himself wandering in and out of the story adds little.
