The Pick of the Flicks Podcast #20 – Santa Claus trainer James Lovell talks Miracle on 34th Street

December 19, 2018 by Tom Beasley

On The Pick of the Flicks Podcast, a different guest drops in every week to chat about their favourite film. This week, in a special Christmas episode, Santa Claus instructor James Lovell pops by to talk about both movie versions of Miracle on 34th Street…

This week, as we celebrate Christmas, my guest is James Lovell. James is the director of the Ministry of Fun Santa School, responsible for training Santa Claus performers. His choice of favourite Christmas film was Miracle on 34th Street – both the 1947 and 1994 versions. In one, Edmund Gwenn won an Oscar for his sensitive portrayal of the man in red while, in the other, Richard Attenborough became the definitive Father Christmas for an entire generation of kids.
