Poems narrate four afternoon vignettes; each protagonist is older than the one in the previous sketch. As a girl skips rope in “Game Little Gladys,” she sings a jingle about who she might marry. In a park, ten men appear atop low pedestals. Is one her future? In “Gardener’s Son,” a teen wakes outdoors; thinking about love, he goes about his chores, passing by classical statues and slightly-older women. In “Princess Printemps,” a spring poem accompanies a somewhat addled princess as an equally silly suitor pursues her. In “The Aging Balletomane,” a man rocking on a porch looks about him, remembers his youth, and sees an apparition of a woman. She dances. He reaches for her. She disappears.

How to Watch Four in the Afternoon Legally and Safely

If you want to stream Four in the Afternoon through reputable and legal services, there are a few good options depending on where you are. Subscription platforms like HBO Max, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ sometimes carry Four in the Afternoon films or related DC titles—though availability depends on your country.

If you’d rather not commit to a subscription, there are ad‑supported, free (but legal) platforms such as Tubi, Pluto TV, Peacock or Crackle (where available in your region) that occasionally host superhero films.

Lastly, don’t forget about library‑linked streaming options like Kanopy or Hoopla (if your library or university is registered), and official uploads by film distributors on YouTube—these can also give you legal access to classic movies.
