10/10
Pure Magical Genius
25 December 2019
Mrs. Shullivan and I have watched this classic Christmas film year after year and each year it becomes more special for rendering that true meaning of Christmas. The performances by the four main stars, namely Edmund Gwenn (Santa Claus), Maureen O'Hara, John Payne and who could forget then nine (9) year old child actress Natalie Wood. This was so well written and the four main characters performances are so memorable that they are burnt into our memories with all their famous lines.

It's a story about a single working mother and her only daughter who both have no time for believing in fairy tales like Santa Claus and Christmas until the two new men come into their lives with their very strong belief in the magical powers of the Christmas spirit.

Edmund Gwenn is "THE" real Santa Claus and even the most doubtful nine (9) year old Susan Walker and her even more serious mom Doris Walker an executive at the Macy's department store need a lot of convincing before they will transform into Christmas believers like all the rest of us movie viewers who believe in this Christmas classic film, A Miracle on 34th Street. I am eternally grateful for the film's writers George Seaton (written for the screen by), Valentine Davies who brought us such an annual memorable Christmas film classic.
