Description

"One dollar and eightyseven cents. And the next day would be Christmas." And so we begin O. Henry's best known and timeless story, which stands as a shining example of O. Henry's writing at its best. For in it we have the simplicity of concept, the irony of circumstance, and the charming surprise at the end...which we won't reveal here. It's a wonderful romantic tale of a young married couple who have little money to buy each other Christmas presents. And so she cuts off and sells her beautiful hair...

This short film is a timeless portrayal of selfless love and compassion in the "true" spirit of the Christmas season. It should be in everyone's video, CD collection.

The descriotion said it had George Wendt in it and he's nowhere to be found. Also the director listed was different. I already ahd this video and thought I was getting a different and hopefully better version of the story. I felt ripped off.

Disappointing December 27, 2003

The O'Henry story is wonderful, but this depiction doesn't do it justice. Perhaps, this is one of those stories that does not translate well to film. It seemed as though this was a production put on by a theater company in a small town. Also, be aware that running time for this video is just twenty minutes, which makes it a pretty expensive videotape.

This video production does not do justice to O. Henry's great story. I hope someday to find one that does.
