this be actually a trilogy of 3 of somerset maugham short tale . the first one be the verger and which be about 15 minute long and very enjoyable . after 17 year albert foreman be lay off from his church job because he can not read nor write . so what do he do . open a tobacco shop and of course . the second be mr. know all which be actually a story i have read for school 6 year ago and instantly forget and until i hear the familiar introduction . another 15 minute one and and also very good . it work well on film than in a book for me and but then perhaps that because i be only 14 the last time and afterall . the 3rd one be nearly a let down . almost an hour in length and it simply drag . it not all that bad and but not a quick and snappy a the last 2. i watch the first quarter hour of it and then skip forward to the last quarter hour and and find that it still make sense and really i hadn not miss a thing . overall i give them 8 and 9 and and 6 out of 10 and respectively .
