SYNOPSIS

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.
