Miracle on 34th Street

1947, NR, 96 min. Directed by George Seaton. Starring Maureen O'Hara, John Payne, Edmund Gwenn, Gene Lockhart, Natalie Wood, Thelma Ritter, Porter Hall.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Wed., Dec. 12, 2001

A real holiday classic, this one's bound to make a Christmas booster out of the most hardened cynic. Little Natalie Wood plays a girl who challenges the reality of Kriss Kringle. Lots of wonderful character performances dot the picture.
