Mr. Gimbel played by Herbert Heyes had played the same role in the original Miracle on 34th Street (1947).
Of the five major versions, this is the only version of "Miracle on 34th Street" to be filmed completely in California (not counting stock footage or process shots).
In the EastWest DVD Co. iteration of this work, it is paired with a bonus cartoon short: Little Gray Neck (1948), an English-dubbed animated Russian fable.
Besides cutting scenes and entire plot lines, the actors' delivery is rushed when compared to the original movie version.
