Anne Baxter was wonderful. originally, Zanuck tried to cast Bette grable in the part(no, I'm not kidding).
Fox made another Darryl Zanuck production about a mans search for truth, with a lot of talk about the meaning of life, religion, etc - also scored by Newman - THE EGYPTIAN.
We could do a whole other thread on this film alone. The movie is radically different from the book, which is actually more lurid. However, this is one of those movies which I must say gave me my first spiritual epiphany, in October of 1962, when I was 13.
"God forgives everything, Sinuhe. He forgives you."
But that, as they say, is another story...

As for Sophie and what she goes through, I have gone through something very similar, and all I can say is thank whatever Higher Power there is, and all attendant support groups, or I would surely have ended up in exactly the same way.
I chose not to follow that path, though I'm afraid I can't say my life since has been particularly stellar.
You can get through great grief, but you will never get over it.

why I oughta...
...John B. Archibald replied:
But Power was as perplexing as he was as Larry Darrell in "The Razor's Edge"...never able to verbalize exactly what he was seeking or what he ultimately found, but both films let us know he "found" it.
But that's the conundrum behind anything concerning spirituality. It's some kind of a never-ending search, more perceived in others than in oneself. The people who've "found it," as you say, are usually self-effacing enough not to admit it.
Audrey Hepburn talks about it in THE NUN'S STORY, when she says, "I thought I'd reach some kind of resting place...," and she is curtly informed by her Mother Superior: "There is no resting place."
Even Power says in RAZOR'S EDGE that he has had great moments of doubt about the path he has taken.
Kind of dovetails nicely with the recent revelations about the surprising, if not shocking, decades-long crisis of faith suffered by Mother Teresa of Kolkata.
