Harvey

Comedy
The classic stage hit gets the Hollywood treatment in the story of Elwood P. Dowd who makes friends with a spirit taking the form of a human-sized rabbit named Harvey that only he sees (and a few privileged others on occasion also.) After his sister tries to commit him to a mental institution, a comedy of errors ensues. Elwood and Harvey become the catalysts for a family mending its wounds and for romance blossoming in unexpected places. [+]

United Kingdom | Empire | "Great performances lifts this movie above its stilted script and production." | POS |
United States | Variety | "Harvey, Mary Chase's Pulitzer Prize play, loses little of its whimsical comedy charm in the screen translation." | NEU |
United Kingdom | Time Out | "Charming, lightweight stuff (from a play by Mary Chase), so long as you can take Stewart's ingenuousness, but it does wear thin." | NEU |
United States | The New York Times | "If you're for warm and gentle whimsey, for a charmingly fanciful farce and for a little touch of pathos anent the fateful evanescence of man's dreams, then the movie version of Harvey is definitely for you." | POS |
