It stars Maureen O'Hara, John Payne, Natalie Wood, and Edmund Gwenn. The story takes place between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day in New York City, and focuses on the effect of a department store Santa Claus who claims to be the real Santa. The film has become a perennial Christmas favorite.

One of the more outstanding scenes I think I have seen in film. That poor little girl has gone through misery overseas and lost her parents in WWII. She's convinced he is Santa. I love watching how the eyes on the little girl light up when he talks in her native language. Plus the mom is so thankful for Santa's kindness to her.

Translation:
Santa: Hello, I'm glad you came!
Little girl: Ooh, you are Sinterklaas!
Santa: Well, yes of course!
Little girl: I knew, I knew for sure you would understand!
Santa: Of course, tell me what would you like from Sinterklaas.
Little girl: Nothing! I already have everything. I just want to stay with this lovely lady!
Santa: Would you like to sing for me?
Together: Sinterklaas Kapoentja (Saint Nicholas, little rascal)
Put something in my little shoe
Put something in my little boot
Thank you Sinterklaasje!
Sinterklaas Kapoentja
Put something in my little shoe
Put something in my little boot
Thank you Sinterklaasje!

Still one of my favorite scenes from this movie and still one of my favorite Santa Clauses.

I think I speak for many Dutch speakers when I say the following: the pronunciation is off in so many ways... but! It is appreciated English-speakers made an effort to try and speak Dutch. And that eclipses everything.
