A Manhattan department store manager, Dorey Walker (Elizabeth Perkins), hires Kris Kringle (Richard Attenborough) to play Santa Claus for the Christmas season. He does a great job and soon claims that he is, in fact, the real Santa. When Kris is framed for an assault and threatened with being placed in an insane asylum, a lawyer Bryan Bedford (Dylan McDermott) comes to his defense. Meanwhile, Dorey's young daughter Susan (Mara Wilson) has her own doubts about Santa, but Kris changes her mind, and she convinces the judge that he also should believe that legally, at least, Santa Claus is real. After winning the case, Bryan asks Dorey to marry him, and Susan gets her Christmas wish and something to believe in.

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
