7. Maureen O’Hara's Opposition to Colorizing Miracle on 34th Street
Trending
One of the stars of Miracle on 34th Street (1947), Maureen O'Hara, was strongly opposed to the colorization of that film. It became one of the very first classics to be submitted to this process in 1985, and in this manner, a polarizing version has been passed on to a new generation for their emotional edification.
This Easter egg, then, speaks to the debate ongoing between people who want the original intact but accessible for contemporary times. It's a beautiful historical fact that adds more significance to the tradition of the cult Christmas movie and gives viewers a lasting memory in terms of how it shapes culture.
