What happens

The Naked Edge is a 1961 thriller film starring Gary Cooper (in his final film role) and Deborah Kerr. The film was a British-American co-production distributed by United Artists, directed by Michael Anderson and produced by George Glass and Walter Seltzer, with Marlon Brando Sr. as executive producer. The screenplay was written by Joseph Stefano (adapted from Max Ehrlich's 1955 novel First Train to Babylon), the musical score was composed by William Alwyn, the cinematography was handled by Erwin Hillier and Tony White, and the production designer was Carmen Dillon. The film was shot in London and at Elstree Studios, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. Notably, the film ends with a voiceover advising audiences to not spoil the ending of the film to others, which reflected the wishes of the film poster to not allow anyone seated "during the last 13 minutes."
