Question
I'm trying to find the name of a movie I saw yrs ago. It's about a man and wife who live in NYC (I think) struggling to pay bills around the mid 1900's, both trying to buy a christmas gift for each other. She cuts and sells her long hair to buy him a watch, he works to buy her hair combs which she can not wear after selling her hair. Any ideas?

You're looking for The Gift of the Magi... it's a famous short story about the commitment of two people to making the holiday wonderful... and about the love between them... it's been filmed several times, even done by Mickey and Minnie Mouse....
The original story was written by O. Henry...
Hope this helps,
