Encore
1951 | NR | 3.4 out of 5 StarsThree 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.

When Miranda's look-alike human friend Caroline goes on holiday, Miranda decides to move into Caroline's home and live her life. The lark goes swimmingly until Miranda breaks off Caroline's engagement and falls for another man.
