The original 1947 version of this Valentine Davies story follows the misadventures of Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) as he gets a job playing Santa Claus at Macy's department store in New York City. Natalie Wood is the little girl who tells him she doesn't believe in Santa, and Maureen O'Hara and John Payne are the couple who help Kris through a trial in which he must prove he's the jolly fellow from the North Pole. A sweet movie and perennial Christmas favorite, this is one of those movies that gets under your skin and must be revisited every so often. --Tom Keogh

Summary: Christmas Classic
Comment: Wonderful edition! The television program was nice to see, but it is merely a chopped down redo of the movie, using most of the same script. The acting pales compared to the actual film, but is all right. The colorized version still does not sit well with me, I prefer the original black and white versions of films. All in all, however, this is a great buy!

Summary: A Christmas Classic
Comment: This has long been a favorite of many at Christmas time. It is a great production.

This timeless classic features Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle. This kindly old man is employed to play Santa Claus at the Macy's department store in New York. He creates quite a stir in the job and it is apparent that he really believes that he is Santa Claus. Some who do not accept this identity seek to have him committed to a mental facility.

There are some classic courtroom scenes with the presiding judge put in the untenable position of possibly ruling that Kringle is not really St. Nick. He faces great unpopularity even with his own family members, let alone the voters.

This is really a fun flick. It is well done and has some great subplots. Two well known actresses who play in it are Maureen O'Hara and a very young Natalie Wood. If you have not seen it already, you will likely enjoy it. If you have watched it before, this is one that can be pleasantly viewed again.
