The 20th Century-Fox Hour

20th-Century Fox Hour: The Miracle on 34th Street is almost as charming as the original 1947 film but is shorter - time cut in half.

I was captivated when I watched this episode because I almost felt as if I was watching the 1947 classic - it's that good. This particular episode is worth watching - it has all the magic, wonder and fun of the original film.

Thomas Mitchell was magnificent as Kris Kringle aka Santa Claus. Sandy Descher as Susan Walker is adorable. Teresa Wright plays the always logical Doris Walker quite well.

I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this episode, but if you get a chance to view it - it's recommended.

8/10.
