'The Gift of the Magi' Film, John Steinbeck's Only Screen Appearance
Author and narrator John Steinbeck introduces 'The Gift of the Magi' segment in the anthology film, "O. Henry's Full House" (1952) based on 5 short stories by American writer O. Henry. 'The Gift of the Magi' featuring actors Farley Granger and Jeanne Crain is the tale of a young married couple that sacrifices in order to afford Christmas gifts for each other. ~ As a child I remember watching this sentimental story on TV and being so moved by it, especially during the holidays.
