W. Somerset Maugham: The Closed Shop

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Dramatised by Hugh Whitemore
[Starring] Charles Gray as the Storyteller, Peter Jeffrey as El Presidente Two, Paul Whitsun-Jones as El Presidente One, John Junkin as Don Agosto

It all started with El Presidente, one of the many gentlemen to hold that title, who, to satisfy his own lust for a certain married woman, introduced the simplest of divorce laws and thus opened up the floodgates for an invasion of rich American matrons seeking to end their marital state.
