Now available for the first time in one collection from ClassicFlix—all 39 episodes of a long lost television anthology series spotlighting the works of one of America's most beloved short story authors!

William Sydney Porter, better known by his pen name O. Henry, is celebrated the world over for his humorous writing style which is also noted for its surprise endings. His works include such classics as "The Gift of the Magi" and "The Ransom of Red Chief"; and he was also the creator of The Cisco Kid!

Executive producers Jack J. Gross and Philip N. Krasne (Big Town, The Lone Wolf) brought O. Henry's prolific output to TV screens in 1957 with The O. Henry Playhouse. Academy Award-winning actor Thomas Mitchell (Stagecoach) portrays writer O. Henry himself in each episode as he describes his current story-in-progress to his publisher and others he interacts with.

Directed by such Hollywood veterans as Bernard Girard and George Waggner, The O. Henry Playhouse - The Complete Series contains all 39 half-hour episodes that shine the spotlight on such timeless tales as "The Reformation of Calliope", "Two Renegades" and "Christmas by Injunction"; and also features a glittering array of movie and TV stars in Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, Chuck Connors, Marsha Hunt, DeForest Kelley, Claude Akins, Tommy Kirk, Susan Morrow, Preston Foster, Leo Gordon, Denver Pyle, Morris Ankrum, John Carradine, Peggie Castle, Jackie Coogan, Morey Amsterdam, Ellen Corby, Johnny Crawford, Jim Davis, Dick Foran, Mona Freeman, Hans Conried, Lawrence Dobkin, Beverly Garland, Alan Hale, Jr., Louis Hayward, Jeanne Cooper, Richard Arlen, Whitney Blake, Gerald Mohr, Tom Conway, Kenneth Tobey, June Vincent, Frieda Inescort, Don "Red" Barry, and many, many more.
