After yrs, I've never forgotten..., 8 January 1999
Author: Valerie from Orlando, Fl

I saw this years ago, and forgot most of the movie. I remember the feeling that I loved it, made me cry. But the scenes that stick in my mind is when they were both poor and they wanted to give each other a present. Secretly, he sold his watch for a hair comb for her beautiful long hair.

And she sold her long hair (for wigs) to get a watch fob for his precious watch. I cried. I loved this movie.
