A comic look at a New York City bum, who tries to get jailed for the cold winter months, but fails, and is ironically locked up after he decides to reform.
It's part of the anthology film "O. Henry's Full House" (1952) so your dream's come true. The 1952 version features Marilyn Monroe and the GREAT Charles Laughton.
@@dantean ... And the Laughton / Monroe version has been on TH-cam for quite a while now - the last 10 years in fact - so I'm surprised it seems not to have been picked up ... th-cam.com/video/temSJCZwUlU/w-d-xo.html
I remember this playing a lot on HBO back then (or Showtime? cinemax?). But I never watched it all the way through. Thanks for this and (whoever it was that uploaded it) the living film reel horror short film. :)
Bobby Morse was so adorable with those facial expressions, and still *is*! My favorite part is where he eats at a fancy restaurant and can't pay for it! Where did you get the dvd/VHS? I've tried to find it, but can't.
Strays from O. Henry's tale but adds incidents effectively & in keeping with the spirit of the original. It's a perfectly acceptable version. Morse is no Laughton, who played Soapy in the 1952 movie version, as the former doesn't convey the nobility & poetry of Laughton's down-on-his-luck derelict but he's fine in the role. The main difference, I think, is that Morse seems to be spoofing the character of a vagrant or bum, a little too self-aware of acting the part, whereas Laughton is less showy, more authentically believable. Morse's bum is "on", an extrovert---amusing, yes, & likeable but not, unlike Laughton's Soapy, memorable.
I have taught this lesson in syjc. Thank you for this video. I will show it to my students.

Who is here before Maharashtra boards😂?
Better is the "Full House" with Steinbeck as narrator. The Cop and the Anthem with Charles Laughton and Monroe et al is truly much better. IMHO.
Agreed! That was a classic performance by Laughton. What a great actor!!
Nice story
