Three Films by W. Somerset Maugham

One of Britain’s finest novelists, W. Somerset Maugham, presents a trilogy of films adapted from his own short stories.

Featuring a superior cast that includes Dirk Bogarde, Honor Blackman, Mervyn Johns, Glynis Johns and Nigel Patrick, the quality of writing in these charming compilations is derived not only from Maugham’s original material but also from the work of gifted scriptwriters such Academy Award winner T.E.B.
