The article present information on the film "The Edge of the World" directed by Michael Powell. Its main theme is the battle of man against the elements. The setting is a precipitous and storm-ridden island in the Hebrides off the northwestern coat of Scotland. The austere life it has imposed on its inhabitants and their struggle against an eventual certain defeat provide human sequences that would seem less authentic in a background less dramatic. Powell has handled the human story with restraint.
