O. Henry's Full House (1952)
IMDB: 7.3
Regia
Henry Hathaway
Nuvelele lui O. Henry, presarate din plin cu umor ironic, au creat o imagine durabila a oamenilor obisnuiti din America sfarsitului de secol 19.
Cele cinci nuvele alese pentru pelicula Casa plina sunt The Clarion Call, The Last Leaf, Ransom of the Red Chief, The Gift of the Magi and The Cop si the Anthem. O superba coloana sonora compusa de Alfred Newman, alaturi de o multime de scenaristi, scenografi si tehnicieni de exceptie, transforma pelicula intr-o adevarata comoara.
