Reviews (1)
It's one of those beautiful stories you like to revisit, especially a film with such a lovely concept, like a courtroom trial about whether a person is truly Santa Claus or not. This is just such a beautiful idea that you have to love it. I was content with how things unfolded, and I don't feel much inclined to watch the 1994 remake.
