CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mr. Kringle's (
Edmund Gwenn) face glows when thousands of children's letters to
Santa are presented in court and his case is dismissed.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Edmund Gwenn plays
Kris Kringle, a bearded old gent who is the living image of
Santa Claus. Serving as a last-minute replacement for the drunken Santa who was to have led
Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, Kringle is offered a job as a Macy's toy-department Santa. Supervisor
Maureen O'Hara soon begins having second thoughts about hiring
Kris: it's bad enough that he is laboring under the delusion that he's the genuine
Saint Nick; but when he begins advising customers to shop elsewhere for toys that they can't find at Macy's, he's gone too far! Amazingly, Mr. Macy (
Harry Antrim) considers Kris' shopping tips to be an excellent customer-service "gimmick," and insists that the old fellow keep his job. A resident of a
Long Island retirement home, Kris agrees to take a room with lawyer
John Payne during the
Christmas season.
It happens that
Payne is sweet on O'
HARA, and Kris subliminally hopes he can bring the two together. Kris is also desirous of winning over the divorced O'HARA's little daughter
Natalie Wood, who in her few years on earth has lost a lot of the
Christmas spirit.
Complications ensue when
Porter Hall, Macy's nasty in-house psychologist, arranges to have Kris locked up in
Bellevue as a lunatic. Payne represents Kris at his sanity hearing, rocking the
New York judicial system to its foundations by endeavoring to prove in court that Kris is, indeed, the real Santa Claus! We won't tell you how he does it: suffice to say that there's a joyous ending for Payne and O'HARA, as well as a wonderful faith-affirming denouement for little Natalie Wood. 72-year-old Edmund Gwenn won an
Oscar for his portrayal of the "jolly old elf" Kringle; the rest of the cast is populated by such never-fail pros as
Gene Lockhart (as the beleaguered sanity-hearing judge),
William Frawley (as a crafty political boss), and an unbilled
Thelma Ritter and
Jack Albertson.
Based on the novel by
Valentine Davies, Miracle on 34th Street was remade twice: once for TV in
1973, and a second time for a
1994 theatrical release, with
Richard Attenborough as Kris Kringle.
