classic

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. February 28, 2006

Confusion

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. December 22, 2005

Disappointing

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. December 27, 2003

Had high hopes

This video production does not do justice to O. Henry's great story. I hope someday to find one that does. December 19, 2003
