Henry's classic Christmas story directed by Marc Daniels starring Jim Backus Peter Graves as O. Henry Debby Boone John Rubenstein et al. This version aired 21 December 1978 on NBC and this script appears to have been utilized in the process of transfer to video. The music is credited to Stanley Lebowsky with lyrics by Fred Tobias.

1979WRCLIT60364Los Angeles: Frank Yablans Presentations in Association with Twentieth Century-Fox 1979. 1156 leaves. Quarto. Mechanically reproduced typescript printed on rectos only. Bradbound in printed production company/studio wrappers. Near fine. A quite early "third" draft of Mayes's adaptation to the screen of Jack-Alain Léger's novel. The script for the 1982 film release directed by Frank Perry was credited on screen to Mayes. In spite of that many many subsequent drafts bear Abraham Polonsky's name exclusively. This draft differs markedly from the several Polonsky drafts that we have examined the earliest dating from October of 1979. This was the last film with which Polonsky was associated as screenwriter though to what degree it was a collaborative effort is unclear. As screenwriter for BODY AND SOUL 1947 and writer/director of FORCE OF EVIL 1948 Polonsky was well on his way toward a distinguished career in film when he was blacklisted and fired by Fox for refusing to cooperate with HUAC. He continued to work during the Blacklist either uncredited or pseudonymously and in 1996 the Writers Guild restored his real name and credits.
