User Review - 8/10 by David dTerrific writing and plots, great actors.
User Review - 8/10 by Roderic WGood collection of tales given the star treatment. Part of my Monroe collection. Blink and you'll miss her appearance. The Last Leaf and Gift of the Magi very touching and beautifully played. wonderful performances from the character actors like Gregory Ratoff and Kathleen Freeman. The only dud for me is Clarion Call with the giggling Widmark psychopath. Charles Laughton, very entertaining as the hobo.

User Review - 6/10 by John CTwo of the stories -- "The Cop and the Anthem" and "The Ransom of Red Chief" -- are treated splendidly. The other stories are filmed mediocre at best and deadly dull at worst.
