"A Retrieved Reformation" adalah sebuah cerita pendek oleh penulis Amerika O. Henry pertama kali diterbitkan di The Cosmopolitan Magazine , April 1903. [1] Ini menggambarkan peristiwa-peristiwa yang mengarah pada reformasi seorang mantan narapidana . Pada tahun 1910, dramawan Paul Armstrong mengadaptasi cerita ini menjadi sandiwara Broadway yang sangat sukses dengan judul Alias Jimmy Valentine yang menjalankan 155 pertunjukan di Wallack's Theatre di New York, dan drama itu kemudian dibuat menjadi tiga versi film: satu pada 1915 disutradarai oleh Maurice Tourneur dan dibintangi oleh Robert Warwick , satu di tahun 1920 disutradarai olehEdmund Mortimer dan dibintangi Bert Lytell , dan satu pada 1928 disutradarai oleh Jack Conway dan dibintangi William Haines , yang terakhir adalah film suara pertama Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer dengan urutan dialog. Popularitas cerita sebagai film bergerak sangat menambah gaya penulis, meskipun dalam versi bahasa Inggris, Prancis, dan Spanyol O. Nama Henry tidak disebutkan. [1] Karakter Jimmy Valentine diambil dari kehidupan tetapi ada paralelnya dengan kejadian utama dalam bab XLII dari Les Miserables Hugo .
The story begins at the prison shortly before Jimmy Valentine if set free; the majority of the narrative occurs in Elmore, a small backwoods town in Arkansas where he settles. Major characters include Jimmy Valentine; Mike Dolan, his partner in crime; detective Ben Price, Jimmy’s nemesis; and Annabel Adams, the girl with whom Jimmy falls in love. Minor characters are the prison warden; Cronin, a prison guard; Mr. Adams, Annabel’s father; Annabel’s sister; Annabel’s two young nieces, May and Agatha; a hotel clerk; and a young boy who lives in Elmore.
As the story begins, Jimmy is called to the warden’s office. The warden hands Jimmy his pardon from the governor and advises him to stay out of trouble: “You’re not a bad fellow at heart,” he says. “Stop cracking safes, and live straight.” Jimmy laughs, feigning surprise, denying he had ever cracked a safe or committed the bank robbery that had sent him to prison.
Jimmy leaves prison the next day and takes a train to another town where he meets up with Mike Dolan, a friend and confederate. After picking up his key from Mike, Jimmy returns to his room above Mike’s restaurant where he had lived before detective Ben Price arrested him. Jimmy finds his safe cracking tools still hidden in the wall where he had left them. A week later, a string of bank safe burglaries in the Midwest comes to Ben Price’s attention; he knows Jimmy Valentine is back in business and sets out to catch him again
The surprise ending is especially characteristic of O. Henry’s tales, as are the story’s numerous gentle ironies. Jimmy Valentine leaves prison with no thought of leading a conventional, respectable life, and he comes to Elmore to rob the bank. Instead, he falls in love with the banker’s daughter, finds a new family, runs a flourishing shoe store (having learned to make shoes in prison), and becomes a pillar in his new community.
