Bedroth (who is not a lawyer, but likes movies) and The Diad (who is a lawyer, and also likes movies) get together once a month to discuss a film in the "legal movie" genre. Is it a good movie? How well does it represent the legal profession? Courtroom films, law school films, comedies, dramas, thrillers. You name it, they'll probably talk about it eventually. Grab your popcorn and your briefcase and come join us at The Movie Bar!

Episode 9: Two Miracles on 34th Street Walk Into the Bar

The Diad and Bedroth take two trips down Christmas Memory Lane as they present their first double (jeopardy) feature for Christmas 2022! Originally released in 1947 by 20th Century Fox, written and directed by George Seaton and based on a story by Valentine Davies - and remade in 1994 by John Hughes and Les Mayfield (again released by Fox) - Miracle on 34th Street tells the story of Kris Kringle, an elderly gentleman in New York who believes he is Santa Claus and is forced to defend (with the legal assistance, respectively, of John Payne's Fred Gailey and Dylan McDermott's Bryan Bedford) his sanity and his very identity against the State of New York.

At the same time, Kris is struggling to hold on to the hope that he can still make a difference in the world, and he has chosen as a test case the mother/daughter pair of Special Events Director Doris Walker (originally played by Maureen O'Hara and portrayed - as "Dorey" by Elizabeth Perkins in the remake), who hires Kris to play Santa in the annual Thanksgiving Day parade after her original Santa becomes intoxicated, and her skeptical daughter, Susan (Natalie Wood/Mara Wilson). Add in the love story brewing between Doris and Fred (or Dorey and Bryan), and these movies have a lot going on!

Will Fred/Bryan be successful in their attempts to prove that Kris is not crazy for believing he is Santa? Will they be successful in their romantic aspirations? Perhaps most importantly, will Doris/Dorey and Susan have their faith restored on this momentous Christmas? And how does it all hold up under the Diad's legal scrutiny and in Bedroth's court of public opinion? Grab your eggnog, join us at the bar and find out!
