re: Psycho' on 34th

Because Moira doesn't allow comments on her weblog, I will have to respond to her post "Psychoanalysis on 34th Street" right here. Last weekend I saw Miracle on 34th street for the first time ever (not just the first time in my adult life) and it was a pretty good movie, but had some weird one liner's in it. Moira's favorite "Maybe he's only a little crazy. Like painters, or composers, or . . . some of those men in Washington" is pretty good, but I had my own favorite.


Yeah, there's a lot of bad 'isms' floatin' around this world, but one of the worst is commercialism. Make a buck, make a buck. [found at imdb]

At first I thought this was a backhanded knock against communism or socialism, but it just doesn't seem right. The timing is definately right (1947) for anti-comunist messages, but the sentiment just isn't there.
