This is one of the best classic movies on the market today. Everyone, no matter the age will fall in love with Harvey.DVD Review: Classic Jimmy Stewart
Summary: 5 Stars
We recently revisited this old friend, and HARVEY is one film that surely stands the test of time. This is Jimmy Stewart at his best: sweet, polite, and happy. HARVEY is an excellent choice for a lazy Sunday morning with the entire family.
Elwood P. Dowd has an imaginary friend, whose name is HARVEY. HARVEY is an invisible, 6 foot tall, white rabbit, who accompanies Elwood everywhere. Ever polite, Elwood introduces HARVEY to everyone he meets. However, since only Elwood can see HARVEY, most folks think that Elwood is crazy.
But is Elwood crazy? That question is left for the audience to ponder. The fact is that it doesn't really matter if Elwood is crazy. Elwood is kind, polite, pleasant, and always has a good time right where he is. It just doesn't matter if he has a giant, talking, white rabbit for a best friend or not.
The story of HARVEY is delightful and engaging. Jimmy Stewart is at his very best as Elwood. The rest of the supporting cast is outstanding, including Josephine Hull who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Elwood's sister. Of course, HARVEY is excellent as himself. The black and white cinematography is gorgeous! The play of light and shadow gives this movie a calm, dreamy quality that could not ever be duplicated in color.
On my DVD, Jimmy Stewart gives a marvelous, sentimental introduction to HARVEY. As part of the introduction, Mr. Stewart said that people still stop him on the streets and ask if HARVEY is there with him. At first, he thought people were pulling his leg. But he soon came to realize that folks were serious. They wanted to meet HARVEY and give him their regards. It seems that many people a have friend like HARVEY that they talk to about their problems, and they wanted to let HARVEY know that they believe in him. This charming story brought a tear to my eye. The world would probably be a much better place if there were more HARVEYs and more Elwood P. Dowds in it.

Elwood P. Dowd(Jimmy Stewart)entertains you with his constant companion - a six foot tall rabbit that only he can see. Of course, this highly annoys his sister whose plans to marry off her daughter are threatened by Elwood's obsession with Harvey(the rabbit); she decides to have Elwood committed to a mental hospital. Then the fun begins: a funny mix-up at the hospital and she finds herself committed instead and it is up to Elwood to get her out of this erroneous mess with the help of his imaginary frind, Harvey. You will be entertained to the very end of the film when a startling fact emerges concerning HarveyDVD Review: Harvey

Summary: 5 Stars
I have always Loved this movie and my son was at our house and watched it with us for the first time. He loved it and said he would like to get it so I bought this for him as a Christmas gift. It's funny and sweet and has Jimmy Stewart so it is practically impossible not to love it. It makes me wish that everyone could be like Jimmy Stewart in this movie, what a wonderful world it would be!
Description of Harvey
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
