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.

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

 Harvey a funny heart warming movie, truly a classic January 7, 2009
I watched this movie with my son (who is 24 years old) and his friend. We all were laughing all the way through the movie and it was a great movie with a mixture of comedy and a heart warming feel. It was great for all, even my son who had never even heard of the movie. James Stewart was great.
"He's a pooka!" January 6, 2009
James Stewart is excellent in the role of Elwood P. Dowd. Harvey comes to life in this film version of Mary Chase's play, Harvey and brings with him a valuable lesson on acceptance and what true happiness is.
Wonderful movie December 5, 2008
This is one of my favorite movies ever. Elwood Dowd is like a child in many ways, sees the good in everybody. It's kind of like Harvey is his guardian angel. Any movie that James Stewart is in is among the best.
Gotta Love Jimmy November 29, 2008
Oh wow! I have been looking for this DVD for a long time. I LOVE this movie. Jimmy at his best. It is an old movie but still a great one. You will not regret watching it. So Funny!!!
Harvey November 9, 2008
One comment, I'm not sure Harvey was imaginary, I know several people who swear they've seen him. Evidently he is a friend to rumpots. Stewart himself said people, usually men, looking a little down on their luck, asked him about Harvey for years!
