- IPDB This game is named after a master burglar and safecracker from the 1909 short story "Alias Jimmy Valentine" by William Sydney Porter (alias O. Henry). A silent movie of the same name followed in 1915, then remade in 1920 and 1928. In February 1936, a month after this game was released, the movie "The Return of Jimmy Valentine" was released. used
