At the Macy's Department Store Thanksgiving Day parade, the actor playing Santa is discovered to be drunk by a whiskered old man. Doris Walker, the no nonsense special events director, persuades the old man to take his place. The old man proves to be a sensation and is quickly recruited to be the store Santa at the main Macy's outlet. While he is successful, Ms. Walker learns that he calls himself Kris Kringle and he claims to be the actual Santa Claus. Despite reassurances by Kringle's doctor that he is harmless, Doris still has misgivings, especially when she has cynically trained herself, and especially her daughter, Susan, to reject all notions of belief and fantasy. And yet, people, especially Susan, begin to notice there is something special about Kris and his determination to advance the true spirit of Christmas amidst the rampant commercialism around him and succeeding in improbable ways. When a raucous conflict with the store's cruelly incompetent psychologist erupts, Kris finds himself held at Bellevue where, in despair, he deliberately fails a mental examination to ensure his commitment. All seems lost until Doris' friend, Fred Gaily, reassures Kris of his worth and agrees to represent him in the fight to secure his release. To achieve that, Fred arranges a formal hearing in which he argues that Kris is sane because he is in fact Santa Claus. What ensues is a bizarre hearing in which people's beliefs are reexamined and put to the test, but even so, it's going to take a miracle for Kris to win.
挺好看的电影，娜塔莉伍德那时候看着好小啊，几年后的搜索者看着就很大只了，约翰佩恩挺有魅力的，不过还是更喜欢奥哈拉和韦恩的CP
关于信仰的问题，这剧本某圈到现在怕是还写不出来。
2021.8.24看，补记。通过法庭来确认圣诞老人的“唯一的、真实的“存在，看似滑稽夸张，实则将法律的权威性、法庭的公信力充分予以表现。要注意的是，圣诞老人虽然可以帮助小朋友得到想要的礼物，但并不买单哦。 ——————索引自《影像中的正义》
无聊的模式电影
低低低低低低低配版卡普拉
情缘
七十多年过去了，笑点和主题还是这么relevant 🙌🏻
给小孩看的
小伍德美人痞子。提到奥哈拉就看了部奥哈拉的片子。圣诞电影。
黑白 漂亮的男女主角 温情的故事 Have A Faith 也许真是2022年后最重要的祝福了
今年圣诞节看了这部 圣诞电影里果然最多只会有一个“坏人”啊 大家都可可爱爱的 感觉现在已经不会看到这种片子了 人们是从何时开始不再专门用一部电影来关心无形的美德和想象力？
Really funny
好喜欢！！！
老电影，今天打开电视居然就是它了。。。
看摩登家庭的时候Jay说这是他觉得最好的圣诞电影，于是好奇加进了片单。第一次下资源还下错了，搞成了九几年的翻拍版。重新找回与捍卫圣诞节精神信仰的故事，好暖呀～🎄🎄
