In “Miracle on 34th Street
This 1973 remake is one of my sister’s favorite Christmas films, so of course I had to see it. I love the opening song, “Miracles”. Besides that, Sebastian Cabot is very believable as Kris Kringle, a.k.a. Santa Claus. Especially touching is when Kris speaks Spanish to a tiny child, as Susan looks on in wonder. Moreover, Roddy McDowall’s villainous performance as Kris’s psychologist was extra fine.
The only thing I didn’t like is that there isn’t much of a romantic spark between Bill, Kris’s lawyer, and Karen, Susan’s mother. However, this small problem doesn’t interfere with my enjoyment of this delightful movie.
