In this charming TV adaptation of the 1947 film classic, a kindly old gentleman (Ed Wynn) working as a Macy's department store Santa causes a commotion when he claims to be the real St. Nick. Forced to prove his sanity, he is taken to court where he must convince the judge and his friends that he actually is Santa Claus. The faith of one skeptical little girl (Susan Gordon) and a Christmas miracle are the keys to his true identity.

Was on Amazon Prime with weird AI remastering and Excessive Noise Reduction.

Eh it was 50 minutes, why not. This is such a genuinely strange plot for a christmas movie. A man who is a stir Santa Claus gets sued as because he believes he is Santa?. Really?.

The 1994 version was better. Suzie was such a brat in this one.
