Miraklet i New York

Miracle on 34th Street

Richard Attenborough positively sparkles in the role of the mysterious Kriss Kringle, giving a restrained and genuinely sweet performance as the plump, white-bearded one suiting up in red in a New York store...

...this modern update is a sweet, gentle, good-hearted film that stays true to the spirit of the original and doesn't try to make everything slick and exploitative.

...unrepentantly nostalgic, sentimental, and manipulative...it's difficult to dislike.

This story of a cynical little girl who meets the real Santa Claus and becomes a true believer is guaranteed to cast a pall over the holiday season.

...teaching young Natalie Wood and her progressive mother Maureen O'Hara to believe in Christmas again is really an object lesson in how to put one over on the buying public.
