07-Jan-12 - John Byrum on the "Improv style"

A new introduction from John Byrum has been added to 'Lost Secenes'

"There's a lot of stuff on film that was changed on the spot from the script. Bill's whole background up to that point was the same as of a lot of that pack that began their careers at Second City, the improv nightclub in Chicago."

10-Sep-09 'Bill Murray Life Lessons'

• The Razor's Edge is Bill Murray's only screenwriting credit to date
  
  
• Larry's farewell speech to commanding officer, Piedmont was written by Bill as a farewell to John Belushi. Bill even used the line "He will not be missed" at John's wake.
  
  
• Columbia Pictures could only have the rights to Ghostbusters if they also agreed to fund The Razor's Edge.
  
  
• The film was criticised for not taking the search for truth seriously. Novelist, Somerset Maugham wrote a script (which the studios rejected) and stressed "this is a comedy and should be played rapidly"
  
  
• After The Razor's Edge, Bill took a four year break from the industry which included studying philosophy at the Sorbonne.
  
  
• In the remake , Larry Darrell serves as an Ambulance Driver in World War 1 just as writer, Somerset Maugham had with the Literary Ambulance Drivers. (In the novel and 1946 film version, Larry is a fighter pilot)
