and the movie was called "O'Henry's Full House". It was hosted/narrated by John Steinbeck. In addition to "The Last Leaf" and "The Gift of the Magi", there were three other O'Henry stories presented (each with a different director.) One of them, "The Cop and The Anthem" tells about a petty criminal who wants to get arrested so he can spend the winter in prison, rather than in the cold city. Everything he tries fails to get him arrested, until finally he has an epiphany and decides to get a job and turn away from crime. THEN he gets arrested. The two other stories (according to various movie websites) were "The Clarion Call" and "The Ransom of Redchief." I remember seeing this movie on TV many years ago, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
