The Alexandria Quartet, Lawrence Durrell's celebrated work, forms the basis to one of the most ambitious of George Cukor 's films, in which he directs an all-star cast. The setting is Alexandria in the 1930s.
Darley, a young English teacher, becomes involved with Melissa-a dancer in a sleazy cafe. And through her Darley comes to know Justine, the beautiful-and mysterious - wife of Nessim Hosnani , one of Egypt's wealthiest men.
