Summary

Edge of the City is a 1957 drama film.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 37 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 560 1950s films, not against the whole corpus. Only 39 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 40 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
