Hi this is Steve. Right now, millions of children around the world are thinking about a

chubby man with long white whiskers, a twinkle in his eye, and a deep merry laugh. They might be sending

him letters or singing songs about him. They might go to

the mall and sit on his lap or watch movies about him on TV and all of them are hoping

he brings them that special something when he visits their homes on Christmas Eve.

And parents around the world encourage this belief from the questions they ask and lists they make

to the milk and cookies they put out, which of course they eat after their kids have gone to bed.

However, if any grown-up says they actually believe in Santa Claus, or even worse, believes they are Santa, we would probably look at them like they

were absolutely crazy.

And that, of course, is what the 1947 Classic Miracle on 34th Street is all about. A kindly old man with White

Whiskers who actually believes that he is the one and only Santa Claus.

Starring Marine O'Hara, Edmund Gwen, and a very young Natalie Wood, Miracle

on 34th Street is at once cynical and heartfelt, funny, warm, and fundamentally mysterious. As always, can purchase Miracle on 34th Street or any other movie we've ever reviewed on our website

Cinophiles.net.

Miracle on 34th Street is without question one of the great holiday movies and John

and I have a fantastic time talking about it on the cinnophiles.

And if he is the person he believes himself to be just as you are, then he's just as sane.

Granted, but he isn't.

Oh, but he is, your honor.

Is what? I intend to prove that Mr. Kringle is Santa Claus. Hello and welcome to the Cinephiles where each week we enter the world of a great film

we explore its themes the history the filmmaking and the influence it has on us today.
