The holiday season is in full swing when a cultured gentleman with twinkling eyes, an ample belly, and a snowy beard (Edmund Gwenn) is hired as Macy's department store Santa. He claims his name is Kris Kringle, and soon fills everyone with Christmas spirit...except for his boss, Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara), who's raising her daughter (Natalie Wood) to not believe in Santa. But when Kringle is declared insane, and put on trial, everyone's faith is put to the test as young and old alike face the age-old question: Do you believe in Santa Claus? (20th Century Fox UK)

It's one of those beautiful stories you like to revisit, especially a film with such a lovely concept, like a courtroom trial about whether a person is truly Santa Claus or not. This is just such a beautiful idea that you have to love it. I was content with how things unfolded, and I don't feel much inclined to watch the 1994 remake.
