==Remake==
A [[Miracle on 34th Street (1994 film)|1994 feature film]] starred [[Richard Attenborough]], [[Elizabeth Perkins]], [[Dylan McDermott]], [[J. T. Walsh]], Timothy Shea, [[James Remar]], [[Jane Leeves]], [[Simon Jones (actor)|Simon Jones]], [[William Windom (actor)|William Windom]] and [[Mara Wilson]]. It was adapted by [[John Hughes (filmmaker)|John Hughes]] from the Seaton script, and directed by [[Les Mayfield]]. Due to Macy's refusal to give permission to use its name, it was replaced by the fictitious "Cole's". "We feel the original stands on its own and could not be improved upon," said Laura Melillo, a spokeswoman for Macy's. Gimbels no longer existed by 1994 so its name was replaced by the name of the fictional "Shopper's Express". Alvin Greenman (Alfred in the original version) played a doorman. The 1994 remake of the film had a more serious tone than the original 1947 film had and a large portion of the plot was rewritten, although the majority of both the plot and the characters remained intact. The 1994 film also added a subtext which described concerns about religious faith.
