George Seaton's classic family Christmas film stars Oscar-winner Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle, hired by Macy's department store's toy department executive Doris Walker to be Santa Claus. But when he claims to really be Santa Claus, he finds himself in court, charged with insanity, where he's defended by Fred Gailey, a neighbour of Walker's, who also has a crush on her. The climatic court scenes will melt the hardest of hearts. Natalie Wood, in one of her earliest roles, stars as Walker's daughter Susan, who refuses to believe in Santa Claus.
