In this dramatization of three short stories by W. Somerset Maugham, Tom (Nigel Patrick) is a thorn in his brother's side, but a chance meeting with a wealthy woman changes everything. Miss Reid (Kay Walsh) is boring her fellow cruise ship passengers with incessant talking, so they set her up on a date that has surprising consequences for everyone. Stella (Glynis Johns) and her husband are professional daredevils, but her worries about the future prompt her to risk it all at the casino.

Audience Member British omnibus film tells three stories by Somerset Maugham. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member the third pix after 1950's 'trio' and 'quartet' Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The first two stories are a charming pair of lightly comic tales and the last darker in tone but no less of a pleasure owing to the enchanting presence of Glynis Johns, who looks utterly sensational and gives a terrific performance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
