Overview
Kris Kringle, seemingly the embodiment of Santa Claus, is asked to portray the jolly old fellow at Macy’s following his performance in the Thanksgiving Day parade. His portrayal is so complete that many begin to question if he truly is Santa Claus, while others question his sanity.

Viewing Notes
This is a great holiday film, full of fantastic performances. There are completely superfluous scenes, like the bubble gum, that I adore for their randomness. When I think of Santa Claus, this is one of the few who springs to mind as the “real deal”.
And Natalie Wood… adorable.
