As Siegel himself noted, the film&#8217;s primary selling points are its gorgeous VistaVision cinematography, and the &#8220;palm drenching&#8221; final sequences. Victoria Shaw is appealing as Wilde&#8217;s red-headed love interest, though she doesn&#8217;t have nearly enough screen time or interesting dialogue; Wilde himself is as stoic as ever, and merely serviceable in the lead role. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gorgeous cinematography of the Grand Canyon<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Grand-Canyon.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Grand-Canyon-1024x461.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"288\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-67948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Grand-Canyon-1024x461.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Grand-Canyon-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Grand-Canyon-128x58.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Grand-Canyon-768x345.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Grand-Canyon-1536x691.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Grand-Canyon-600x270.png 600w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Grand-Canyon.png 1623w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The final climactic scenes over the Canyon<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Finale.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Finale-1024x462.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"289\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-67947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Finale-1024x462.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Finale-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Finale-128x58.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Finale-768x346.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Finale-1536x692.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Finale-599x270.png 599w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Finale.png 1617w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Victoria Shaw as Wilde&#8217;s beautiful love interest<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Shaw2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Shaw2-1024x473.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"296\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-67946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Shaw2-1024x473.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Shaw2-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Shaw2-128x59.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Shaw2-768x355.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Shaw2-1536x710.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Shaw2-584x270.png 584w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Edge-of-Eternity-Shaw2.png 1608w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo. It&#8217;s not clear why Peary lists this title in the back of his book, other than the fact that it was directed by Don Siegel. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0052771\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/film\/63708.html\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;With all that gold here, how come they only have one man to guard it?&#8221; Synopsis: A deputy sheriff (Cornel Wilde) in a Grand Canyon ghost town investigates a mysterious rash of murders.
