Miracle on 34th Street
Directed by George Seaton
1947
★ 4.2 editorial score
The studio released a Christmas film in May and hid the fact from its own advertising: Edmund Gwenn won an Oscar as a department store Santa who insists he is the real one.
“For all those blasé skeptics who do not believe in Santa Claus—and likewise for all those natives who have grown cynical about New York — let us heartily recommend the Roxy's new picture, "Miracle on 34th Street." As a matter of fact, let's go further: let's catch its spirit and heartily proclaim that it is the freshest little picture in a long time, and maybe even the best comedy of this year.”
