Harvey is a Classic comedy-drama film based on Mary Chase's play of the same name and, directed by Henry Koster.
It’s
the story of Elwood P. Dowd (James Stewart) a whimsical middle-aged man who
makes friends with a Pooka, a spirit taking the form of a human-sized rabbit that
only Elwood can see.
In
his innocence he makes no secret of his friendship with Harvey and proudly
introduces him to everyone he meets as his best friend which is why his sister
Veta Louise (Josephine Hull), Due to his insistence that he has an invisible
six-foot-tall rabbit as a friend, tries to commit him to a mental institution.
However,
although he is thought by his family to be insane, in reality he may be wiser
than any of them knows, and Elwood and Harvey become the catalysts for a family
to mend its wounds and for romance blossoming in unexpected places.
Charles
Drake, Peggy Dow, Cecil Kellaway, Victoria Horne and William H. Lynn also star
in this wonderful Classic favourite.
