The movie “Miracle on 34th Street” hit theaters in 1947 and immediately became a vacation classic. Union Critic Gene Peach was a fan
Dear Diary: Friday, and damn it! We had a good time this afternoon There wasn’t much to do, Christmas shopping, packing, shipping out of the way, all the pictures and stuff that was submitted for the Sunday newspaper; tomorrow Friday can be free and tonight a deer party in the Rosige Welt press club, right?
And so you see “Miracle on 34th Street” in Mission Dang, it’s good! Most of all I liked Edmund Gwenn as Santa Claus and no joke and little Natalie Wood, about 7 years old Maureen O’Hara and John Payne also ran
Reason I checked it out is because I read the story the other night, it came as a bonus for a book club and when I woke up around 2 a.m. to have some water, I picked that thing up and read the Teaser on the packaging, lit the fire and strolled inside
“Miracle on 34th Street” was not written until after the film was made, a good thought Valentine Davies originally made it as a film. Some deep thinkers suggested that he put it between the envelopes
It’s one of the cutest damn stories ever told, including Charles Dickens’ version of the Great Story.That’s why I wanted to take this belated look, and that’s why I mention it Everyone should see it, I say
It’s the story of Kris Kringle (that’s his real name). He storms into Macy’s Christmas parade, takes over a stew Santa Claus with a fake beard, and sells the store and his wares, as well as Gimbel’s wares
He also sells Mr. Macy and Mr Gimbel and almost everyone else in the theory that spirited commerce plays second fiddle after the Sprit of Christmas – even with the number of shekels
But the pretty part of the story is telling the Santa legend for little Natalie, a child raised by a practical mother to know better than to believe in such stupidity
Edmund Gwenn, the actor, must have a pretty big inside, including the stuff over his ears
It’s a smart cast for pretty high profile people, they have to be, otherwise they couldn’t have made such a beautiful picture
Merry Christmas to George Seaton for scripting and directing Davies’ script and to William Perlberg for the inspiration to produce it and to Porter Hall for playing the Ornery dog, and on through the cast by 28 names and to Macy’s big New York store for handing over the joint to the movie people for the department store sequences
They tell the story that after filming was finished, producer Perlberg asked Jack Straus, Macy’s president, if there was nothing he could do to repay the many kindnesses shown to the people of 20th Century-Fox
Straus thought about it for a moment and then said, “Yes, I want that little pipe that your assistant director Artie Jacobson blows when he wants silence”
“Well,” said Straus with a grin, “this little pipe has gotten more respect from Macy employees than anyone else here””
