""Miracle on 34th Street" is one of the most enduring Christmas classics you’ll ever see, it is so innocent, charming, and jolly as the gift-giving old man himself. In this movie, Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) is in New York City working at Macy’s where he meets a little girl Susan (Natalie Wood) and her mother Doris Walker (Maureen O’Hara) who don’t believe in him. However, the store’s psychiatrist Dr. Granville Sawyer (Porter Hall) suspects that he’s insane and confines him to a menta"
