Miracle on 34th Street
In Miracle on 34th Street, an old man going by the name of Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) fills in for an intoxicated Santa in Macy’s annual Thanksgiving Day parade.
With the remake of this 1947 Christmas favourite, Macy’s store actually wanted nothing to do with the production, so the name of the department store becomes the fictitious “CF Cole’s”. The exterior of “CF Cole’s” is not a department store at all, but the Art Institute of Chicago located at 111 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.
