Description

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.

    Jimmy Stewart delievered what is perhaps his finest performance other than "It's a Wonderful Life", "Harvey" went on to become a classic for a very good reason, the only other film that could also beat "Harvey" is "The Bell, Book and Candle" which also starred Jimmy Stewart, the last thing said should be left to Jimmy "i see Harvey disturbes you but it's just his way he stares like that at everybody."
  • A wonderful classic

    I believe I was nine or ten years old the first time I watched "Harvey" .I remember quite distinctly that I was impressed by the gentleness of Elwood P.Dowd and how wonderfully his life was written.I've strived throughout the past fifty-one years of my life to be as kind to others as Mr.Dowd was.As Elwood's mother would always tell him,"Ïn this world ,Elwood,you must be either oh so smart or oh so pleasant."As Elwood said,"Well, for years I was smart.I recommend pleasant".I have to agree.
  • One of my favorites.

    I am a 17 year old girl who was impacted by Harvey at a relatively young age. This is, and always will be, one of my favorite films, and here's why: Harvey is the film that taught me that it's okay to be a good person, just for the sake of being a good person. So much of today's humor is about the quick disparaging quips and the thick-skinned sarcasm dishing...In Harvey, Jimmy Stewart showed me that sometimes it really is best to just be pleasant.
  • Simply the best!

    THANK YOU APPLE- you have brought it back! This is my favorite movie of all time! Truly a comic masterpiece of spiritual influence. Elwood Dowd is the great spiritual example of love and tolerance in the midst of chaos around him. Written by a women cheering up a mother who lost her son in WWII. I like to think she did! If you haven't seen a black and white in a while this might be the one.
  • Just the best!!

    It is clever, amusing, heart warming and soul searching. The acting, script and direction are superb. The line about being "oh so smart or oh so pleasant... I recommend pleasant" is advice all can benefit from. You will remember this movie.
  • Quite possible my favorite movie of all time

    Harvey is an absolute work of art. This is one of those rare movies that makes the viewer want to live a better life. The acting done by James Stewart is some of the best I've ever seen, and the writing is top notch. The directing and cinematography are done in a simple, elegant manner that work well in bringing the characters to life. I would recommend this movie to anyone of any age.
