Amazon.co.uk Review
The original 1947 version of this Valentine Davies story follows the misadventures of Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) as he gets a job playing Santa Claus at Macy's department store in New York City. Natalie Wood is the little girl who tells him she doesn't believe in Santa, and Maureen O'Hara and John Payne are the couple who help Kris through a trial in which he must prove he's the jolly fellow from the North Pole. A sweet movie and perennial Christmas favourite, Miracle on 34th Street is one of those films that gets under your skin and must be revisited every so often. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Christmas Feel Good Movie, 21 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Miracle On 34th Street [VHS] [1947] (VHS Tape)
This is the original and still the best version of this classic Christmas movie. It is a warm and heart rending tale of a store Santa who claims to be the real thing. It shows the true spirit of Christmas and begs the question "Does Santa Claus really exist?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally proof that Santa is real, 13 Mar 2007
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Miracle on 34th Street [DVD] [1947] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
will not bore you with a recap of the whole movie or state 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 a Santa preparing to be in the Thanks Giving Day parade is intoxicated. Kris is hired to play the part of him self. He 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 this? If not what will happen to him? What effect will this have on Susan? Or you?

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the great feel-good movies (xmas or otherwise)!, 20 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Whilst I don't agree with the other review that John Payne playes Kris Kringle (it was Edmund Gwenn) I completely agree that this is one of the greatest feel-good movies. Although the more recent version was okay, this original version has much more humour and charm. This is the type of movie you watch to cheer yourself up, whether xmas is around the corner or not! Very highly recommended.
