There are 2 versions of this movie. This one from 1947 and a newer version from 1994. By far this is the better version. With this disk set you can watch the original in all it's B&W glory or watch the same version colorized. I'm not a big fan of colorized versions of old movies but in this case I make an exception. The colors of Christmas really add to the viewing enjoyment. If you like the older version with all the Christmas values and colors this is the disk set to have.

Miracle On 34th St. is the only movie that can make me cry year after after year (it has to be the original b&w version though. When Kris Kringle speaks to the little Dutch girl and of course the very end do it to me, year in and year out. When my young (now grown adults with children of their own) nephew and niece were told by their cousin there's no such thing as Santa Claus, I made all three sit down and watch this movie. For all of those none believers and nay sayers, this is the movie for you. You HAVE to believe in him after watching this (and I'm 52 years young). Thru the years, the original version holds up very well compared with todays movie standards. After watching this movie the first time, I refused to watch anything with Edmund Gwen in it, for fear of losing that belief I'd felt after the first viewing.Read full review
This is the original 1947 movie in black and white. Susan is the little girl in the movie played by Natalie Wood that does not believe in Santa Claus.The title of my review is a spin on the newspaper editorial that stated: "Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus." There is a scene in Macy's Santa line when Kris Kringle who says he is Santa Claus speaks to a little girl in Dutch. Her surprise and delight with a wide smile on her face showing two missing front teeth will bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye. Anyone who does not believe in Santa Claus needs to watch this movie.

I adore this Christmas movie- one of my favorites. It is right up there with "It's a Wonderful Life." Kris Kringle (the real Santa Claus) happens to be at the right place at the right time (or should I say the wrong place at the wrong time) and ends up being cast to play Santa Claus in the Thanksgiving Day Parade since the guy who was supposed to play Santa showed up drunk! Of course, being Santa himself, he insists to all he really is Santa in the coming weeks, which gets some people quite upset and lands him in some serious court trouble. It is comical, touching, and magical. Definitely one of the finest holiday movies of all time.
This is a movie I have to watch every year 2 to 3 times between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is very engaging and heartwarming and, yes, there is a Santa in the heart of everyone who has the opportunity to give someone something that they can believe in.
