Plot Synopsis
Storyline
A little girl discovers dreams do come true if you really believe. Six-year-old Susan has doubts about childhood's most enduring miracle, Santa Claus. Her mother told her the "secret" about Santa a long time ago, so Susan doesn't expect to receive the most important gifts on her Christmas list. But after meeting a special department store Santa who's convinced he's the real thing, Susan is given the most precious gift of all, something to believe in.

Trivia
In 1987-1988, an attempt to remake Miracle was set to be produced with Tom Mankiewicz at the helm to direct and Neil Cuthbert writing the screenplay. But it never got made as it was shelved, being deemed that a holiday picture had too narrow a box office window. See more »Goofs
When Jack and Alberta have dropped Kris off at the old folks' home and Jack is returning to the limousine, you can see Alberta's crossed legs through the open door. When Jack enters the car, however, Alberta's legs are completely covered by her overcoat. See more »Quotes

If you have seen this movie and like it, I can think of one reason. You have never seen the original 1947 version. Both this one and the 1973 made-for-tv version remove all the real feeling of magic from the story. I know Valentine Davies would be sorely disappointed. Sorry to be a grinch, but Maureen O'Hara, Edmund Gwenn, and Natalie Wood were 1000% more believable.
