MIRACLE ON 34th STREET (1994) - Episode 43: Retro Media Talk | Podcast

In Episode 43, Retro Media Talk goes back to 1994 to talk about the Christmas Classic 'Miracle on 34th Street' written and produced by John Hughes.

"Miracle on 34th Street" is a heartwarming Christmas film released in 1994, directed by Les Mayfield. The story revolves around a little girl named Susan Walker (played by Mara Wilson), who has been raised by her pragmatic and cynical mother, Dorey Walker (played by Elizabeth Perkins).

The film kicks off with the annual Thanksgiving Day Parade, where Dorey's Santa Claus is to intoxicated to fulfill the role of Santa. In a stroke of luck, a kindly elderly man named Kris Kringle (played by Richard Attenborough) steps in to save the day. Kris not only charms the crowd but also becomes the store's official Santa Claus for the holiday season. However, things take an unexpected turn when Kris claims to be the real Santa Claus.

Dorey, who is a no-nonsense businesswoman, is skeptical of Kris's claims and worries about the impact on Susan's beliefs. Soon, Kris's authenticity is put to the test as he finds himself in a courtroom, facing a competency hearing that will determine whether he is indeed Santa Claus or merely delusional. Dylan McDermott plays Bryan Bedford the lawyer and love interest of Dorey.

As the trial unfolds, the film explores themes of faith, the magic of Christmas, and the importance of believing in something beyond what can be seen and touched. The narrative cleverly weaves together the courtroom drama with moments of genuine holiday magic, ultimately delivering a message about the power of belief and the spirit of Christmas.

In the end, "Miracle on 34th Street" serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most extraordinary things can happen when you open your heart to the possibility of miracles. The film is a delightful blend of humor, emotion, and holiday cheer, making it a timeless classic for audiences of all ages.
