MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET

The 1947 holiday classic Miracle on 34th Street is transplanted to the 1990s with few changes in this family-oriented remake. The screenplay by the prolific John Hughes sticks close to the original outline, centering on Macy's executive Dorey Walker (Elizabeth Perkins) and her young daughter Susan (Mara Wilson), neither of whom much believes in the spirit of Christmas.

Also starring Richard Attenborough as Kriss Kringle.

Running time – 1hr 54mins.

Suitable for all ages.
