Miracle on 34th
Street (1947)
Written and directed
by George Seaton this film stars Maureen O'Hara, John Payne, Natalie
Wood and Edmund Gween. Is an old man working as a department shot
Santa Clause the real Santa Clause or is he mentally ill?
At times this often
remake film pushes the barriers on being sappy but for the most part
is a really well made film that while aimed at a younger audience
holds up to older viewers too. The film may not completely divulge
itself of materialism in favour of “the real Christmas spirit”
but does a pretty good job otherwise. Largely the film is well made
and Edmund Gwenn is excellently cast as Kris Kringle.
4/5
