    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      John Steinbeck opens an O. Henry volume at the start of each segment, and the viewers are shown the first one or two paragraphs of the upcoming story's first page. However, only the introduction to "The Ransom of Red Chief" seems to show exactly what O. Henry wrote at the start of that tale. What is shown prior to the other four yarns is similar to, but not exactly, O. Henry's actual opening words.
    • Goofs
      The third segment is supposed to take place in Greenwich Village, but the street sign indicates the location is near East 19th Street. The northern border of Greenwich Village is 14th Street.
    • Quotes

      Sam 'Slick' Brown (segment "The Ransom of Red Chief"): An oil well is a hole in the ground surrounded by suckers.

    • Alternate versions
      The "Ransom of Red Chief" segment was deleted after the film's initial engagements, then restored in the television prints.

    Top flight entertainment.
    This is one of my favorite old movies. You can't go wrong with this one--if you ever have a chance to see it! I don't recall enough details to improve upon what's been said by other reviewers, but each part was engrossing (though I agree that "The Ransom of Red Chief" was the weakest dramatization of a great short story of the bunch), especially "The Gift of the Magi" and "The Last Leaf." Lingers in the memory long after you see it.
