Product Description

NTSC / Region 0 Korean import. Optional Korean subtitles can be turned off from the main menu. Celebrate the collaboration of one of America’s great storytellers and some of Hollywood’s brightest talent in this “engrossing and entertaining” (Hollywood Citizen-News) collection of five unforgettable O. Henry tales. Featuring “a glittering ensemble” (The Hollywood Reporter) of Hollywood’s most beloved stars, this exciting collection delivers dazzling performances, hearty laughs and entertainment on a grand scale. Charles Laughton and Marilyn Monroe light up the screen in The Cop and the Anthem, a hilarious tale about a hobo looking to spend the cold night in a warm jail, while Dale Robertson and Richard Widmark go head-to-head in the murder mystery of The Clarion Call. The Last Leaf stars Anne Baxter and Jean Peters in a touching story about hope in the face of despair, and Fred Allen and Oscar Levant discover perils inherent in kidnapping a ten-year old terror in The Ransom of Red Chief, which was directed by Howard Hawks! The heartwarming finale to the collection is delivered with grace by Jeanne Crain and Farley Granger in The Gift of the Magi, a story about selflessness and love on Christmas morning.

A Full House Indeed.

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2007

At long last one of my favorite films has finally made it to DVD and I can throw my TV copy VHS away. O Henry has always been a favorite writer of mine and it just so happens that he is buried right here in Asheville, North Carolina. If you visit his grave you will find coins on it in honor of THE GIFT OF THE MAGI. I remember first seeing this film on television back in the early 1960s. I was especially taken by the story of THE LAST LEAF (and still am today). It spurred me on to find and read other O Henry short stories where I then discovered that he had written well over two hundred of them!

For this 1952 omnibus film 5 stories were chosen (THE COP AND THE ANTHEM, THE CLARION CALL, THE LAST LEAF, THE RANSOM OF RED CHIEF, and of course MAGI) along with 5 different directors (Howard Hawks, Henry Hathaway, Henry King, Henry Koster, Jean Negulesco) and a top notch cast (Charles Laughton, Richard Widmark, Anne Baxter, Fred Allen, Jeanne Crain and a young Marilyn Monroe). To top it all off 20th Century Fox got author John Steinbeck to introduce the stories. As is often the case with anthology films the stories are a mixed bag with ANTHEM, LEAF, and MAGI being first rate while THE CLARION CALL and THE RANSOM OF RED CHIEF miss the mark due to lack of subtlety in direction and in some of the performances (RED CHIEF was cut after the premiere but restored for TV showings).

Nevertheless this release is a 5 star effort all the way thanks to a beautifully restored print and a slew of informative extras including two silent shorts, a trip to the O. Henry Museum in Austin, Texas and no less than a recording of O Henry himself done in the mid 1900s (he died in 1910). An excellent example of the old studio system school of filmmaking at its best and a great incentive to check out the original stories which had to be altered and expanded for the movie (ie. THE LAST LEAF is only 3 pages long in a full size edition).

A Christmas Must See!

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

1952 anthology film based on five short stories by NC author William Sidney Porter, who wrote under the pen name of O. Henry. Each of the five short features are introduced by another famous author, John Steinbeck. For those who like early Hollywood movies from the 30s, 40s and 50s, many familiar faces will be seen. The list includes Marilyn Monroe, Charles Laughton, Anne Baxter, Fred Allen, Oscar Levant and more. O. Henry's penchant for the ironic twist in his tales is evident most notably in the first feature starring Charles Laughton and featuring Marilyn Monroe, "The Cop and the Anthem". Joy and sadness, serious to hilarious, you will find a wonderful collection of odd misfits and colorful characters in "O. Henry's Full House", and if you don't find the joy of Christmas within the first four features, it will hit you squarely in the heart with the finale, "The Gift of the Magi." I highly recommend this video for young and old alike!

A Fulsome House

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2014

This is one of those movies where a studio cobbled together a group of stars to play in multiple vignettes or short stories. This time they used the writings of O. Henry with his quirky, less than perfect, happy endings. The stories are all marvelous and the acting is wonderful. My least favorite is "Ransome of Red Chief" because I never liked that story particularly but the acting by Fred Allen and Oscar Levant is outstanding. The duo is at their best dealing with a young man more conniving than they are. I encourage you to see it for the performances as well as for the well written stories of Mr. Henry. The bonus is that each story is introduced by John Steinbeck, a talented author in his own right.

Classic short films

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2011

I remember watching 2 of these short films many years ago on television, they were The Last Leaf and The Gift of the Magi. I still haven't watched them all yet and am really looking forward to them because I love O'Henry's Short Stories.
I have often searched over the years to see if these were available so was thrilled when I found this DVD at Amazon.com. The Gift of the Magi really shows the love two people can feel for each other when they put the other person before themselves. All of these stories have great meaning and makes one think of gentler times when people had more consideration of others.
I am sure I will enjoy all the films as much as the two aforementioned.

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2015

My pick in order of the 5 short stories are:
1. The Cop and the Anthem with an excellent performance by Charles Laughton as the hobo looking for a warm bed and food to carry him through the harsh winter.
2. The Gift of the Magi with good performances from Farley Granger and Jeanne Crain as a young couple who individually were willing to sacrifice much to give their partner a valuable Christmas gift to show their love for one another.
3. The last Leaf a very symbolic story for one facing death. I am a bit biased here as Jean Peters is a favourite actress of mine.She and Anne Baxter played the part of sisters well and the sacrifice made by the old painter upstairs was very touching.
There is little between "The Ransom of Red Chief " and "The Clarion Call". I had trouble getting into the story lines of these two. At a pick though I found the acting in "The Clarion Call" grating with Richard Widmark's laugh annoying and Dale Robertson's acting wooden. Overall though, a good movie experience with the added bonus of John Steinbeck's introductions to the stories.

A Relic of Enduring Beauty

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2014

To have made a choice of but five O. Henry short stories from nearly a hundred was but the first of many challenges met and succeeded at by 20th Century Fox. John Steinbeck, even in his sober way, cannot help to communicate his towering respect for the master of paradox. As to that figure of speech, Mr. Steinbeck attests to it by at once exuding his highest esteem and deepest admiration for O. Henry. This could only be missed by the most obtuse. The stories are given real flesh by a superb ensemble; to identify a few would be to neglect the many that are equally worthy. I fully trust that O’ Henry would have approved of and delighted in this miniature masterpiece entitled, “Full House.”

5 stories to warm the heart

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 18, 2023

Verified Purchase

I had only bought this to see the great Charles Laughton and a brief but memorable appearance by Marilyn Monroe, both of whom are wonderful in the first story. However, I was also given a warm fuzzy feeling by the rest of the stories and players on this disc and call me sentimental, but it took me back to simpler times. The author O Henry, whose stories the film is based, has caught the time periods and the range of human emotions wonderfully well. If you're up for some pure nostalgia with great acting and stories with heart, I recommend this disc wholeheartedly.

Une unité entre ces cinq histoires dirigées par cinq réalisateurs différents dans des styles variés (de la farce au drame). Fables mettant en avant une morale, juste retour des choses ou surprises. Récits où l'argent est le moteur. Superbes performances d'acteurs (Charles Laughton, Richard Widmark...). Une apparition de M.Monroe (qui ne mérite pas la couverture). Très beau noir et blanc.

Excellent restoration of an interesting fifties film comprising 5 O Henry short stories, packed with Fox contract stars plus Charles Laughton.
