Customer Reviews

Finally, proof that Santa is real.

I will not bore you with a recap of the whole movie or stage play, which is obvious to all that this 1947 black and white movie is one of the major Christmas Classics. -- Kris Kringle (Edmond Gwenn) is appalled to find that a Santa preparing to be in the Thanksgiving Day parade is intoxicated. Kris is hired to play the part of himself. -- Kris Kringle befriends a child, Susan (Natalie Wood), who does not believe in Santa or the tooth fairy, or giants. His employer, Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara), is dubious of her decision to hire him after learning that he believes he is Santa. -- In the spirit of Christmas, he brings two rival stores together and is in the process of bringing the girl around to believing. Naturally, I left out many other controversial questions and fun scenes. Among them is one where a Dutch girl recognizes him as Santa and he speaks Dutch to her. -- Through a few misunderstandings, he is put on trial and must prove he is Santa. Can his friend, who happens to be a lawyer, prove that Kris Kringle is Santa? If not, what will happen to him? What effect will this have on Susan? Or you? --
