It's also a movie generally considered to be a Christmas movie, but we're showing it in July. (This is keeping with the original release, which was in June of 1947.) A weird man named Kris Kringle claims to be Santa Claus, and is committed to Bellevue mental hospital, and his case comes up in court. Is he really Santa? Actually no. Yet you can still tell it's a fantasy because everything comes up more or less positive by the end. But I am told that this one isn't a commentary, but definitely is a riff. Said riff was released around 2022.
