Harvey (1950)

Rate: 10
Viewed: 2/18

2/18: Think of all the great classics that James Stewart appeared in, and one of them is undoubtedly Harvey.

Harvey was a 1944 play written by Mary Chase that won her the Pulitzer Prize. Then, it ran for 1,775 performances from 1944 to 1949. Finally, Hollywood came calling, and Universal Pictures bought the film rights.

It's one of the warmest movies ever made and something that would have come out of Frank Capra's treasure chest. The funniest part is I actually believed Harvey, a 6'8" invisible rabbit, existed. That's the magic of James Stewart's acting. No one would've done better than him. Anyway, be sure to check out James Stewart's interview about his experience with the film and people approaching him about Harvey. It's humorous.

All in all, Harvey will win over people of all ages.
