Miracle on 34th Street (USA 1947, 92 min, Rated G):
Does Santa Claus really exist? This is the question many New Yorkers ask when an older man with a white beard claims in court that he is the real Santa Claus. Kris Kringle is the department store Santa at the historic Macy's, where he spreads holiday cheer to everyone - except for his boss. She neither believes in Santa Claus nor wants her daughter to believe in him. To her, Kringle is nothing more than a crazy old man, and soon she finds that she is not alone in this opinion.

Miracle on 34th Street (USA 1994, 109 min, Rated G):
Christmas time, miracle time - even in the bustling city of New York, miracles can still happen! The friendly department store Santa, Kriss Kringle, is a picture-perfect Santa Claus. He not only looks like the real St. Nicholas, but he also claims to be the real Santa Claus. For all the children who know him, there is no doubt - if it weren't for the realistic adults.

To them, Mr. Kringle is simply a madman. But how can one prove that? For Kringle, it's about more than just being committed to an institution. It's about the children of the whole world - because what would Christmas be without the gift-bringer? And it's about little Susan and her mother: because this small family is in dire need of a miracle...
