Revealing Mr. Maugham (UK)

(83 min; 2012; English)
Director: Michael House

The documentary tells the story of Somerset Maugham, the novelist, spy, playwright, physician and prolific writer, who took on the taboo subjects of adultery and sexual jealousy and breathed new life into the spy novel. Revealing Mr. Maugham also looks at the writer's personal struggles — including a stammer that Maugham developed as a child after his parents died.
