As you may possibly guess, I have a thing for black and white Christmas movies. Miracle on 34Th street is one of my favorites. Santa Claus is loved by children across the world, who believe in him deeply. However, do the kids keep their belief when they grow up? Well, the adults in this movie certainly do not.
So when Kris Kringle comes to town, he gets a job at Macy's working as the in-store Santa. Of course the adults have no idea that this guy is for real. But one little girl proves the truth. The little girl just so happens to be the daughter of an important worker at the Macy's store, who has no belief what so ever in Santa Claus.
The young girl develops her belief of Kris Kringle while sticking around who she believes to be the real one, who actually is the real one. Okay, I just confused myself. I'm not exactly good at explaining this part of the film, so I'll move on.
This movie is not entirely about children and Xmas. The young girl's mother, falls in love with their neighbor who happens to be a lawyer. This lawyer ends up defending good old Kris, when the people at macy's start to believe that he has lost it. That's when the famous scene occurs with the letters from kids across the world, get adressed to Santa and sent to the corthouse. This film is truley spectacular and great for all ages.
Huge thumbs up.
