It's always a small surprise to revisit this movie and realize what a subtly dark performance James Stewart gives as an alcoholic who claims he keeps company with a six-foot-tall, invisible rabbit. As Elwood P. Dowd, the actor emits a faint whiff of decay and spirits, yet Stewart also embraces Dowd's romanticism and grace with splendid ease. Based on a hit play and directed by Henry Koster, the film is terribly funny at times, especially whenever Elwood decides it's only polite to introduce Harvey to complete strangers. The supporting cast can't be beat. --Tom Keogh
Description
James Stewart stars as Elwood P. Dowd, a wealthy alcoholic whose sunny disposition and drunken antics are tolerated by most of the citizens of his community. That is, until Elwood begins to claim that he has a friend named Harvey who is an invisisble six foot rabbit. Elwood's snooty socialite sister, Veta, determined to marry off her daughter Myrtle to a respectable man, begins to plot to keep Elwood's lunacy from interfering.

 Great movie, but why not in widescreen? July 11, 2008
I'm giving the movie itself four stars, but if I were rating the product I would give it only two.
How come the only widescreen release of this movie is the one that comes with the big James Stewart package? It should also be rereleased by itself in widescreen, for those who already own one or more of the movies in the "The James Stewart Hollywood Legend Collection." I don't want to pay over $40 for movies I already own just so I could get "Harvey" in widescreen, but I refuse to buy anything in fullscreen since I learned how much it detracts from the film.
So it looks like I won't be getting "Harvey" after all. Too bad, it's a wonderful film.
An Interesting Movie July 7, 2008
My favorite part is Elwood's response when people ask "Can I do anything for you?" or "What can I do for you?" He says, "What did you have in mind?" and it throws people. They don't know how to react, which to me is funny.
I also like that the viewer gets to decide who's "sane" and "not sane". The cab driver's speech about the way people act on the drive to the sanitarium vs the way they act on the drive home was poignant.
 An Enjoyable Movie June 16, 2008
This is another great classic. Its funny, thoughtful & up lifting. I was lucky enough to see the Broadway revival years ago with Jimmy Stewart, a great memory. Give this one a try.
