Among them are a struggling songwriter, a lonely woman he nicknames “Miss Lonelyhearts,” and a seemingly ordinary salesman named Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr).

‘Miracle on 34th Street’ (1947)
“Miracle on 34th Street” begins when a kindly old man named Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) is hired to play Santa Claus at Macy’s flagship New York City store after the original Santa is found unfit for the job. Kris quickly becomes a hit with shoppers and children alike, except he insists that he really is Santa.
His claim draws skepticism, especially from Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara), a practical-minded store executive raising her young daughter, Susan (Natalie Wood), to be sensible and not believe in fairy tales. But when Kris’s authenticity is challenged in court, his fate (and the spirit of Christmas itself) hangs in the balance. With the help of a young lawyer and a bit of holiday magic, Kris sets out to prove that sometimes faith can be just as real as fact.
