James Stewart gives one of his finest performances in this lighthearted film, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Stewart stars as the good-natured Elwood P. Dowd, whose constant companion is Harvey, a six-foot tall rabbit that only he can see. To his sister, Veta Louise, Elwood’s obsession with Harvey has been a thorn in the side of her plans to marry off her daughter. But when Veta Louise decides to put Elwood in a mental hospital, a hilarious mix-up occurs and she finds herself committed instead. It’s up to Elwood to straighten out the mess with his kindly philosophy, and his “imaginary” friend, in this popular classic that features a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award®-winning performance by Josephine Hull.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Don Shanahan

Some will find the film cute and endearing, while others will need to see an ophthalmologist to correct their eyes that have rolled back into their heads to repeatedly.

While perhaps trivialising some serious issues, Harvey still presents a sweet and delightful comedy-drama about one eccentric man who befriends an imaginary (or possibly just invisible!) giant rabbit.

Maybe we should all be a little more like Elwood P. Dowd and befriend our own devil may care pooka because we could sure use one right about now.

James Stewart has the charm to sell this idea to people, even though they look at him as delusional and funny in the head, but it really works.

Though the film carries on a touch too long (a few sequences serve only to reiterate), the flurry of shouting matches and the matchmaking romances keep the humor consistent.
