Factual error: In the post office scene, Susan's letter has stamps totalling 16 cents. First class was only three cents in 1947.
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: George Seaton
Starring: Maureen O'Hara, Edmund Gwenn, John Payne, Gene Lockhart
Other mistake: The traveling camera used during the opening credits is not positioned correctly; it is tilted to the right, causing the whole scene to be crooked.
Mr. Shellhammer: But... but maybe he's only a little crazy like painters or composers or... or some of those men in Washington.
Trivia: It was so cold during filming in New York in winter that the cameras froze several times.
Question: I've always wanted to know what Kris and the little Dutch girl were saying to each other.
Answer: Not sure of the dialog but here is the Christmas Carol they sing, the lyrics are: Sinterklaas kapoentje, gooi wat in mijn schoentje, gooi wat in mijn laarsje, dank u Sinterklaasje. The translation is: Sinterklaas good man, throw something in my shoe, throw something in my boot, thank you Sinterklaas. Actually not a Christmas carol but a song for another holiday earlier in December.
