The original 1947 version of this Valentine Davies story follows the misadventures of Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) as he gets a job playing Santa Claus at Macy's department store in New York City. Natalie Wood is the little girl who tells him she doesn't believe in Santa, and Maureen O'Hara and John Payne are the couple who help Kris through a trial in which he must prove he's the jolly fellow from the North Pole. A sweet movie and perennial Christmas favorite, this is one of those movies that gets under your skin and must be revisited every so often. --Tom Keogh

My boyfriend's been looking for a B&W copy of this in DVD format - and this has both! A nice surprise!

For years our family, having grown up and become self-sufficient, decided to donate to a few charities rather than buying presents (except for the children). Besides making for a much more relaxed holiday season, it let us get past the frenzy and allowed our minds to better appreciate the meaning of Christmas.
There are some things that generate sights and smells and memories in our hearts. This movie is one of them. For what Christmas could be complete than lounging together as a family and watching some of the Christmas classics. Certainly "Miracle on 34th Street" is one of them.

The 2007 brand new beautifully color enhanced version of "Miracle on 34th St." is not the same color version as the one made in the '90's. It is also certainly not the same as the first color version made in the '80's. It's a brand new 2007 color technology produced color version. Whoever thinks this is the same color version, be it the AFT color version of the '90's or the bad '80's color version is wrong, this is an excellently color enhanced 2007 version. I know this for a fact because I watched the '90's A.F.T. version and the new Legend color version side by side as I watched this movie Christmas time 2007. The new version is sharp, clear, colors are nice and bright (no more brownish or dark reds, the reds are now bright and red red) and the movie now looks like it was originally shot in color. That's the best complement you can give a colorized movie. It's beautiful. Even some colors of things like ties, dresses, scenery background on the wall are different colors now than they were in the '90's color version. Watching these side by side on a split screen I could see first hand the vast improvements this 2007 version is over the past color versions. This ain't your Daddy's colorization anymore. So get over the snob/elitist comments. Welcome to a big beautiful colorful world. B/W you're thru. Now please color ALL the rest of the drab b/w movies and TV shows then I'll be in heaven.

I watched the original black and white version. It looks and sounds great. I didn't buy the video for the special features, so I didn't pay much attention to them.
I would recommend Miracle on 34th Street to everyone, young, old, or in between.
