Like Chaplin in many of his films, Allen directed, wrote, starred in, and composed the soundtrack for this film.Plot SynopsisIn the film""s opening, a car speeds into a dangerous curve and plunges headlong through a protective fence and down an embankment, killing its occupant Martin W.Its depiction of the Jesus Christ figure was also extremely subtle and solely as a cameo - it never showed Christ""s face but only the reactions of other characters o him." Judith is stunned and denies the reality of the situation with repression: "Suppose we just don""t talk about it anymore.Don""t you see? It""s not just Kris that""s on trial, it""s everything he stands for.It""s kindness and joy and love and all the other intangibles."The likeable film posed the question: Was the radical Santa Claus character (Kris Kringle) real or just plain delusional and crazy? The Macy""s Santa was compelled to prove himself by enduring a psychological evaluation, corporate competition, and even a court case.
