Harvey

That damn 6ft 3" rabbit is as charming as ever.

Elwood P. Dowd is a charming harmless fella, he takes a drink or two for sure, but he's a delightful human being regardless. So why then does his sister want to have him committed to a home for the insane? Ah well you see, Elwood has an invisible friend who happens to be a six-foot-three rabbit!

Faithfully adapted by Mary Chase from her hit Broadway play, Harvey remains to this day a wonderful fantasy comedy that delights all members of the family. It's the kind of film that leaves a warm glow once the credits role, it's basic premise is one of fantastical whimsy as Elwood drives all around him to distraction with his discourse with the invisible Harvey. It's here that the film has a rat...

Harvey is a whimsical film, at times a clever film about innocence and making sure it is not lost in a cynical dog eat dog world.

James Stewart plays Elwood an amiable pleasant drunk, although we never see him actually drink. He is a sweet man who likes talking to people, so adept he is at listening to people, they tell him all sorts of hopes, desires, wishes and problems like he was the parish priest.

Elwood's sister Veta Louise (Josephine Hull) wants to marry off her daughter Myrtle Mae (Victoria Home) but what is holding them back is Elwood and his conversations with Harvey, a 6 feet tall invisible rabbit.

Veta decides to have Elwood committed but due to a series of mishaps it is her who ends being institutionalized before the e...

People like Elwood P. Dowd. He has plenty of friends, and knows almost everyone in town. If he doesn't know you, simply allow him to give you his card. His best friend, however, is a clever pooka who takes the form of a 6'3" tall rabbit.

I didn't know it was possible to like James Stewart even more than I already did! Here he gives one of his most endearing performances, in a role he called his personal favorite. Josephine Hull, Victoria Horn, Charles Drake, Peggy Dow, Cecil Kellaway, and others make up a colorful and lively supporting cast.

From the Pulitzer prize winning play comes this wonderfully zany comedy celebrating the eccentric in all of us. A delightful and heartwarming film enjoyable for all ages.

I think Jimmy Stewart ...

Elwood (James Stewart) is one of those polite and charming people who believes that a smile can go a long way. His widowed sister Veta (Josephine Hull) is concerned though. Not because he is friendly, but because he claims to always be accompanied by an invisible six-foot rabbit (Harvey). Indeed, her concern grows to the extent that she considers having him certified. To that end she consults Dr. Chumley (Cecil Kellaway) who, ably assisted by Dr. Sanderson (Charles Drake), offers to asses her brother. When he arrives for the chat, confusion swiftly ensues and in a case of mistaken identity Sanderson, nurse Kelly (Peggy Dow) and their factotum Wilson (Jesse White) get the wrong end of the stick and detain the wrong sibling! When Chumley disc...
