This short-lived attempt to adapt the works of the veteran British writer W. Somerset Maugham for a television audience was broadcast on CBS-TV on Wednesdays between 9:00 and 9:30 PM. In April 1951, the show moved to NBC where it alternated with Robert Montgomery Presents in one-hour slots.
Introductions and epilogues often featured the writer himself, and were filmed in his residence in the French Riviera.
Actors who appeared in the dramas included Grace Kelly, Anthony Quinn, Jessica Tandy, Cloris Leachman, Eddie Albert, and Robert Cummings.
The series originally aired in some markets as Teller of Tales.
