Miracle on 34th Street is an irresistible fable that has for many years become synonymous with celebrating Christmas. The holiday is in full swing when a cultured gentleman with twinkling eyes, an ample belly, and a snow beard (Edmund Gwenn) is hired as a Macy’s department store Santa. He claims his name is Kris Kringle, and he soon fills everyone with Christmas spirit… except his boss, Doris Walker (Maureen O’Hara), who’s raising her daughter (Natalie Wood) to not believe in Santa. But when Kringle is declared insane, and put on trial, everyone’s faith is put to the test as you and old alike fake the age-old question: Do you believe in Santa Claus?
