When Maureen O’Hara finds her Manhattan department store Santa is almost as pissed as Billy Bob Thornton, she hires as his replacement one ‘Kris Kringle’ (Edmund Gwenn) – a bearded older gentleman who proves to be particularly keen on placing other people’s children on his knee. Alas, suspicions arise that he is, in fact, a nutter. So he promptly winds up in court with nothing less than the existence of Santa on trial.
