"Quartet" (1948) is a British anthology film with four segments, each based on a story by W. Somerset Maugham. Each segment is introduced by the author. It was successful enough to produce two sequels "Trio" (1950) and "Encore" (1951), and popularised the compendium film format, leading to films such as "O. Henry's Full House" in 1952.

The screenplays for the stories were all written by R. C. Sherriff.

Plot summary

Despite their reservations, Mr. and Mrs. Garnet allow their promising tennis player son, nineteen-year-old Nicky Garnet, to travel by himself to Monte Carlo to compete in a tournament. On the last night of his stay, he wins a large amount of money at roulette and meets a beautiful woman named Jeanne. She takes him dancing at a nightclub. When he returns to his hotel, it has closed for the night. She offers to let him sleep on her sofa. Later that night, he awakens to find her stealing his winnings. He pretends to be asleep and sees her hide the money in a vase. After she leaves, he retrieves the money. The next morning, on the plane returning home, he counts his money and finds there is more than there should be. A friend suggests that Jeanne had stored her own funds in the same hiding place.
