Harvey
Directed by Henry Koster
1950
★ 3.7 editorial score
James Stewart played it on Broadway and returned to the part for decades: an unfailingly pleasant man insists his closest friend is a six-foot-three invisible rabbit, and his family wants him committed.
“"Harvey" is a yarn about a boozer who has a giant invisible rabbit as a pal—a six-foot three and one-half inch rabbit that has become as intimate in American lore as Mary's lamb. And, of course, the matter of the story is simply what happens when the boozer's family, reduced to despair by his behavior, try to clap him into the looneybin.”
