Maugham's the Word

The trailer for "Revealing Mr. Maugham," Michael House's acclaimed documentary about the life and work of gay writer Somerset Maugham, is now out. I loved "The Razor's Edge" in college, but find his real life adventures -- as a spy for the British Secret Intelligence Service and as a prolific homosexual -- to be even more fascinating. The only question now is how long before James Franco plays the "Of Human Bondage" scribe on the big screen.
