Auf Messers Schneide (1946)
Der Flieger Larry Darrell kehrt nach dem ersten Weltkrieg als gebrochener Mann zurück. Erschüttert vom Grauen des Krieges, löst er die Verlobung mit der reichen Erbin Isabel und begibt sich auf eine Reise ins Ungewisse. Seine Odyssee führt ihn nach Paris zu Schriftstellern und Malern, in die Tiefen eines Kohlebergwerks, bis in die Höhen des Himalaya. Doch die Schatten der Vergangenheit holen ihn ein, als er Jahre später Isabel und seiner Jugendfreundin Sophie begegnet.
