In which the Mister and the Monsters join me in reviewing MIRACLE ON 34th STREET (1947) for our final selection of 2020. Currently streaming on Disney+ and based on a story by Valentine Davies and written for the screen and directed by George Seaton; the film tells the story of Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) who's stopped by NYC to try and inject a little holiday magic and comes across Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara) and her daughter Susan (Natalie Wood) - both skeptics on any sort of fantastical aspects of life. Kringle gets a job at Macy's but is soon swept up in a ploy to get him committed by the department store's psychologist. Will Fred (John Payne), the young lawyer be able to save Christmas and get the girl? You'll have to watch. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
We wish everyone all the wonder of the season, all the best in the New Year. #Christmas #Christmas2020 #Disney+
