About The Gift of Love
Inspired by O. Henry's short story about a young bride and groom, each of whom foolishly--but quite lovingly--sacrifices a treasured possession to buy the perfect Christmas gift for their mate.
Directed by Don Chaffey, The Gift of Love leans on a strong ensemble — Marie Osmond, Timothy Bottoms, Bethel Leslie — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1978.
