Charles Laughton was a wonderful actor who demanded the viewers attention in whatever movie he starred in.Marilyn had always had such wonderful expression in her eyes and voice.

Charles Laughton is just wonderful and fills this small role in the OHenry story, gravitating your full attention on his fine performance. Your attention is focused on him continually even with Monroe in a scene.

Great short-story, something which seems to have become a lost art. Fascinating to see Mr. Steinbeck as introducer. One great author admiring another---I like that! Laughton magnificent(as usual)in his role here as Soapy. Always have loved his crisp, clear accent in addition to his terrific acting ability. Fun to see Marilyn Monroe in one of her early roles. Movie-anthologies haven't been made in decades. After "The Yellow Rolls-Royce"(1965), "Plaza Suite" & "California Suite", both based on Neil Simon plays, I think, 1970's, maybe early 80's, there haven't been any that I recall. O. Henry had an interesting life before finding his footing as a writer. He actually was a fugitive from the law for a period. It was while he was serving time in prison that he began sending short stories to potential publishers & from which he emerged in-demand.

I have a collection of all the O. Henry stories and have spent years and years in enjoyment of the simplistic, yet complex style he wrote in. I have visited his home in Austin and have always enjoyed the stories and the actors who played parts in them as movies. Unlike today in movies, each actor is significant as to the role they played and how they acted the part. It is true American art to witness such and to be blessed with such great creativity and writing. The morals in these stories are timeless and should always be taught to our children . We could each learn from them, for sure. Me, I loved Laughton in his many roles, but especially in his film direction of Night Of The Hunter. Just watched it last night and the story is great, as is the acting for each character and the movie itself in how it was filmed. His life was an interesting read, as well. He had many demons facing him, but he will be remembered for this and many other things much more than those. Thanks for posting as this video made my day once again.

Discovered O’Henry, Thanks to TCM, a few years back. Was so glad to see his Anthology, “Full House,” once more over The 2023 Holidays. Glad I recorded it. And it’s even on KZitem. My favorites of these short stories are: “The Cop & The Anthem,” “The Last Leaf, “ & “The Gift of the Magi.” O’Henry increases one’s sense of humanity, many times with a touch of humor, and the unexpected endings of life’s frills.

I should think that most people feel that the Laughton story is the best one in the movie. I remember wondering when I first saw it how they could film all those out-door scenes in New York, only to discover more recently that it was all done on a massive film-set back-lot in California, erected some time in the 1920s!

Una magnífica narración cinematográfica en todos sus aspectos. Si hubiera sido un largometraje, Laughton se hubiera llevado un Oscar. En cuanto a Marilyn... ¡Puf! Lo suyo, más que belleza o pericia interpretativa, era poder, magnetismo puro. Atraviesa la cámara y la pantalla y, en sus secuencias, devora todo lo que haya a su alrededor, incluído al gran Charles Laughton.
