Miracle on 34th Street (1947):
Macy's Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade is about to start, but the man who is playing the part of Santa is, well, not in a condition to do so. Doris Walker, the manager of the parade, asks a passing man to play Santa. In fact, it is the actual Kris Krinkle. Doris doesn't believe in Santa, and neither does her daughter, Susan. Mr. Krinkle decides to use Doris and Susan as a test, if they will believe in him maybe there is hope that the world will get back into the spirit of Christmas.

It is a good one! Thanks, Catherine!! :D
DeleteOh, I do love this movie! It's so sweet and takes me back to my childhood every time I watch it. There's a little girl in the Sunday school class that I teach who reminds me so much of Susan. Love her!
ReplyDeleteGreat review, MC! :)
Everytime I watch it I smile the whole way through! It is such a sweet movie!!! Oh, how cool that you get to teach her! :D That is so great!!
DeleteThank you so much, Elanor!! :)
This is a sweet one! Two of my kids still believe in Santa, so I'm keeping this out of rotation until they find out that there are people who don't believe in him, as I think it'll work better for them then. So I haven't seen it in a few years, but I'm sure I will get to watch it again before long :-) Maureen O'Hara is my favorite actress, and Natalie Wood is so good, especially in this.
ReplyDeleteIt really is! I see, in some ways it can make you believe more in what Santa is about, but if they are fine with believing what they already believe than that is great, too. :) It is a different role than I usually see Maureen O'Hara in, but she is excellent! And Natalie Wood is great. :) Thanks for hosting this!
