[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 426954, member: 57"] Miracle on 34th Street (1973) To mark "Christmas in July" this year I thought I'd watch this TV remake which I haven't seen in quite a long time. It used to be shown regularly, presumably because it was in colour, but when colorisation became a thing the original returned - until the 1994 remake came along. Now they don't show any of them but I have the original on DVD. The first thing you notice is how fast Kringle walks, the whole thing is like it's on speed, and everyone speaks so sharply to each other. They've added scenes to explain things that don't need explanation, eliminating the miracle, but at the same time left out much of the character interaction. The one thing that I really like remains the moment when Tom Bosley's judge adds his grandchildren's letters to the pile on the bench - but why did they think it was better to have the hearing in camera? It removes all the atmosphere. [/QUOTE]
