Wow! Never thought I'd get a chance to see this 1955 television adaptation of the classic holiday film Miracle on 34th Street, let alone get it as a free download! This version stars Theresa Brewer, Thomas Mitchell and Sandy Descher and also features the likes of Whit Bissell, Macdonald Carey and Dick Foran.
