Gwenn (Them!) is Kris Kringle. He gets a job working as the Macy's Santa. He is hired by O'Hara (The Quiet Man) who is single and raising a daughter, (Wood from A Splendor in the Sun). There is a misunderstanding and Kris is put on trial. His lawyer (Payne from Tripoli) is in love with O'Hara's character. He has to prove that Kris is Santa Clause - Kris wants to get the mother and daughter to believe in the miracle of Christmas. Wood makes this movie - she was an amazing actress even at this young of an age. This is a class. All in all, I say: SEE IT and see it every year.
This is the remake done in 94. Attenborough (Jurassic Park) makes this movie, Perkins (Weeds) is O'Hara's character. McDermott (Hostages) is Payne's character. The two of them didn't really have much chemistry. Wilson (Matilda) did a good job although not as god as Wood. Remar (Sex and the City) is the bad guy in this one. All in all, I say: SEE IT - it isn't bad, but I wouldn't watch it every year.
