Great Performances background

Great Performances

A stroll through Manhattan's streets turns into a turning point for a married couple as they have a heart-wrenching conversation that reveals the husband's doubts about his loyalty.

Three Irwin Shaw short stories come to life, exploring complex relationships and moral dilemmas. In "The Girls in Their Summer Dresses", a married couple's Sunday morning outing turns into a tense conversation about trust and infidelity. Meanwhile, "The Monument" pits a charismatic bartender against his owner, who's determined to modernize the Irish pub by introducing cheaper whiskey. In "The Man Who Married a French Wife", a powerful American husband is faced with a difficult decision when his French wife's former lover, a former resistance fighter, asks for his help escaping the country.
