The O. Henry Playhouse - The Complete Series | Ep. 27, The Sphinx Apple

Deskripsi:

A wealthy industrialist dies and leaves behind a bright red apple as a bequest to his heirs. As the story unfolds, this one gesture exposes the true nature of three very unusual people who have gathered expecting to share in the rich man's estate. "The O. Henry Playhouse" is a 1957 single season, 39‑episode TV series. O. Henry (William Sydney Porter) is considered one of America’s greatest writers of short stories. His writings are laced with humor and irony and often end with a sly twist ending. Veteran character actor Thomas Mitchell stars in each episode as writer O. Henry himself as he relates his stories to his publisher, his housekeeper, a barber, a bartender, or the cop on the beat. In some episodes, O. Henry meets his characters as he discovers firsthand the story he will later write. This unique storytelling method gives great insight into the famous author’s creative process.
