365 Days, 100 Films #97 - Miracle on 34th Street (1947)

9 February 2012 11:43 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Miracle on 34th Street, 1947.

Written and Directed by George Seaton.

Starring Maureen O'Hara, John Payne, Natalie Wood, Edmund Gwenn, Porter Hall and Gene Lockhart.

Synopsis:

A department store Father Christmas turns out to be the real deal, and is taken to court over it.

“Christmas isn’t just a day, it’s a frame of mind.”

This is the problem Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) identifies early on in Miracle on 34th Street. Something has been lost in years past. People aren’t embracing the Christmas spirit as much. They don’t seem to believe anymore.

It’s quite difficult to listen to him say that, so sincerely and with a magical glint in his eyes, whilst bashing the head of a chocolate replica of his likeness on the corner of a bowl. Thornton’s make their edible Santas far too hard, and there’s no other way to do it. »
