Quartet

Four stories by W. Somerset Maugham, each from a different director. The first, The Facts Of Life, charts the rise and fall of a young man gambling in Monte Carlo. The second, The Alien Corn, about the son of disapproving parents. The third, The Kite, tells of a husband’s passion for kite-flying and the marital strife he encounters when his wife wishes him to give up his hobby. The fourth, The Colonel's Lady, depicts a Colonel’s disbelief at a passionate book his wife has written.
