s r One of the most popular movies for the armed forces during WW2. It's a little melodramatic, but still it's entertaining and patriotic. Sheridan is beautiful and Flynn doesn't distract. It must have been his trial that subdued his flamboyance. Saw it on TCM. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A great wartime drama film! However, Errol Flynn seems a little mis-cast; just not really the rebellious ambitious type required for this film.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Really solid little war picture! Surprisingly brutal for its era. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Her husband was shot but she carries on his work against us. During the World War a small Norwegian town is held hostage by the Nazis. Some Norwegians fall in line with the Nazi beliefs, while others form a committee to revolt. Those that plan to revolt plan with neighboring towns and the British to obtain arms and drive out the Germans. "No time for tears." Lewis Milestone, director of Ocean's Eleven, Pork Chop Hill, All Quiet on the Western Front, Mutiny on the Bounty, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, and Of Mice and Men, delivers Edge of Darkness. The storyline for this picture is very well told. The plot is fairly standard for the genre, but the characters are delivered very well. The acting is excellent and the cast includes Errol Flynn, Ann Sheridan, Walter Huston, Judith Anderson, and Ruth Gordon. "A tidal wave has swept over us." I recently came across this on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and had to DVR it. I enjoy watching Flynn pictures and this was one of his better performances. There was good drama in this film and I enjoyed the way the town's people were presented. This is worth a viewing for fans of the classics. "They will dig their own graves." Grade: B Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Gripping propaganda film. Good script, mostly.
