Miracle on 34th street (1947) - Christmas movie from director George Seaton, starring Maureen O'Hara, Edmund Gwenn and John Payne

Rating 8.0/10
Runtime: 96 min
Language: English
Country: USA
Directed by: George Seaton
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039628/

Cast

Maureen O'Hara ... Doris Walker
John Payne ... Fred Gailey
Edmund Gwenn ... Kris Kringle
Gene Lockhart ... Judge Henry X. Harper
Natalie Wood ... Susan Walker
Porter Hall ... Granville Sawyer

Description: At the Macy's Department Store Thanksgiving Day parade, the actor playing Santa is discovered to be drunk by a whiskered old man. Doris Walker, the no nonsense special events director, persuades the old man to take his place. The old man proves to be a sensation and is quickly recruited to be the store Santa at the main Macy's outlet. While he is successful, Ms. Walker learns that he calls himself Kris Kringle and he claims to be the actual Santa Claus. Despite reassurances by Kringle's doctor that he is harmless, Doris still has misgivings, especially when she has cynically trained herself, and especially her daughter, Susan, to reject all notions of belief and fantasy. And yet, people, especially Susan, begin to notice there is something special about Kris and his determination to advance the true spirit of Christmas amidst the rampant commercialism around him and succeeding in improbable ways. When a raucous conflict with the store's cruelly incompetent psychologist erupts, Kris finds himself held at Bellevue where, in despair, he deliberately fails a mental examination to ensure his commitment. All seems lost until Doris' friend, Fred Gailey, reassure Kris of his worth and agrees to represent him in the fight to secure his release. To achieve that, Fred arranges a formal hearing in which he argues that Kris is sane because he is in fact Santa Claus.

Not-so-good news

Hi

Not so good news to announce... something happened to my RS accounts tomorrow, when logging into them, it says, that "Your account have not been found"

I dont know, maybe that has something in common in Rapidshare recent actions to prevent users from using the accounts from multiple IPs, but in recent weeks all these accounts were used only by me...

And the worst thing is that I dont have access to all my uploaded files anymore... almost 30 non-published movies are stuck somewhere there on RS servers, and there is no way to get to them until RS makes a move...

I suppose that all these accounts are gone now, with over 100 000 premium points accumulated on them, but the funniest thing is that all the fles published alrady, are still online and fine

So that may put a sad end to my blog, as in case of re-uploading all this stuff again, it is almost impossible task :(:(:(

Anyone had any idea what could happen here?

EDIT: I already mailed them, but "due to the large amount of support requests, your answer will unfortunately be delayed.:

And unfortunately, this lock feature has nothing to do with this, it doesnt prevent anyone from logging into account, just from taking any actions like deleting files or redeeming premium points for new accounts

Lets pray...
