Noel Langley's drawing-room comedy is brought to the big screen with Heather Thatcher as Lady Buckering, a financially embarrassed, upper-class widow who is exasperated by her four adult daughters and their various romantic difficulties. While Doreen (Diane Hart) and her husband, Dougall (Richard Attenborough), await the birth of their first child, Dr. Drew (George Thorpe) urges Lady Buckering to marry him and a pilfering servant is apprehended.

Three stories by W. Somerset Maugham make up an engaging dramatic suite, beginning with "The Ant and the Grasshopper," which features Nigel Patrick and Roland Culver as two brothers struggling with each other's opposite personalities. "Winter Cruise" is a tongue-in-cheek tale of shipboard romance, with Kay Walsh playing an overly talkative spinster. "Gigolo and the Gigolette" relates the trials of a husband-and-wife vaudeville act in Monte Carlo.

Academy Award-winning psychological thriller stars Oscar-winner Ingrid Bergman ("Casablanca," "Anastasia") as a newlywed unaware that her seemingly charming husband, Charles Boyer ("Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"), is a crazed murderer. After they move into her family's Victorian mansion, he schemes to drive her insane while he searches for a hidden cache of rubies. Chilling and suspenseful, it was nominated for Best Picture and Script. Bergman earned a well-deserved Oscar for her performance as the vulnerable heroine. Boyer and teenage Angela Lansbury (TV's "Murder, She Wrote," "National Velvet") each received nominations. Directed by the great Oscar-winner George Cukor ("My Fair Lady," "The Philadelphia Story"). With Joseph Cotton ("Citizen Kane," "The Magnificent Ambersons") and Oscar-nominee Dame May Whitty ("Mrs. Miniver").

Anton Walbrook stars as a calculating husband who attempts to make his wife think she is going insane so that he can locate her hidden family jewels.

Open the champagne! Put silk sheets on the guest-room beds! Princess Victoria Wilomirska and Baron Nicholas Prax are coming for the weekend. Who are they? My dear, they're real live European aristocrats. With titles. They don't have a dime, of course - but, oh the social sensation! In a romantic romp based in part on Noel Coward's Tonight at 8:30, Norma Shearer is the princess and Melvyn Douglas the baron, a ne'er-do-well making his living as a professional guest in the homes of awe-struck Americans. But when the two fall in love and marry, the jig is up. It seems the baron's hostesses much preferred him single. Could it be that one of these pampered patricians will have to get...a job?
