Quartet is the title of a 1948 film based on stories by W. Somerset Maugham.
The film consists of four separate stories 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.
