Das Wunder von Manhattan (1994)

Das Wunder von Manhattan: Directed by Les Mayfield. With Richard Attenborough, Elizabeth Perkins, Dylan McDermott, J.T. Walsh. A lawyer and a little girl must prove that a man claiming to be Santa Claus is the real thing.

“I watch it every year. Iu0026#39;ve read negative reviews of Mara Wilsonu0026#39;s performance but I think she is charming and smart but not at all obnoxious or know-it-all as others have said. She is acting over maturely as she was raised by her no-nonsense and jaded mother. Her subtle winks and expressions are very apropos to her role and she interacts very well with Mr. Kringle. (Perhaps I like her because she looks like my daughter when she was little.) Regardless, I love the way this story is told and Mara makes it for me. Even though logically she was taught that Santa was not real, as a little girl she was still willing to believe. Take a little joy in believing! I hope you enjoy :)”
