I love-love-LOVE today’s Christmas Movie! I mean Santa at Macy’s, what’s better than that? There’s a remake, but when it comes to this movie I’m a purist, and the original is it for me. It makes me happy and I hope you enjoy it.
MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET
Maureen O’Hara, Natalie Wood, Gene Lockhart, Porter Hall, Philip Tonge, Edmund Gwenn
1947
When Santa falls down drunk in the Thanksgiving Day Parade, reluctant Macy’s supervisor Doris Walker (Maureen O’Hara) offers the job to a bearded Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn, who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar) purporting to be the real Santa! During the Christmas season, he shares a flat with Doris’s neighbor (John Payne), who has eyes for Doris. Kris hopes to unite the two while winning over Doris’s skeptical 6-year-old daughter (Natalie Wood).
What’s your favorite part? Mine is when the mom finally believes. Hard headed woman! lol
