This TV remake of the 1947 classic follows the former movie closely, with Sebastian Cabot in the role of Kris Kringle who is hired to play Santa Claus during the Christmas season at Macy's. Kris becomes friends with Macy's manager Karen Walker (Jane Alexander), her young daughter Susan (Susan Davidson), and their neighbor Bill (David Hartman). Kris claims that he is the real Santa Claus and tries to convince Susan that her mother is wrong and that Santa Claus really does exist. This leads to a sanity hearing where Kris must convince both a court and Susan that he is, indeed, the real Santa. Again remade in 1994. 1 User Review

The Over-the-Hill Gang Rides Again 1970 TV, 74 min.
Genre: Family / Western / Comedy / Drama
Director: George McCowan
Cast: Walter Brennan, Fred Astaire, Edgar Buchanan, Andy Devine, Chill Wills, Lana Wood, Paul Richards, Parley Baer, Walter Burke, Lillian Bronson, Jonathan Hole, Burt Mustin, Don Wilbanks, Pepper Martin, Eddie Quillan
The old-timer Texas Rangers (Walter Brennan, Edgar Buchanan, and Chill Wills–without Pat O'Brien) are at it again as they head to Waco to help another retired Ranger (Fred Astaire) in his rehabilitation–from being the town drunk. Again, it's fun, though inane. Astaire, in his only "western" role, is excellent–complete with mustache.
