“Well, I’ve wrestled with reality for 35 years, doctor, and I’m overjoyed to station I finally won out over it.” That delighted comment sets the tone for “Harvey,” a movie about a lovable guy whose map of dealing with the harshness of reality is simple: Execute his fill.

Veta Louise Simmons (Josephine Hull) hopes to arrange a astonishing marriage for daughter Myrtle May (Victoria Horne) in the upper echelons of society. There’s one problem: her wealthy brother Elwood P. Dowd (James Stewart) has an imaginary pal, a six-foot-three rabbit called Harvey. After Elwood accidently wrecks a party by introducing Harvey to everyone, Veta decides to have him committed.
Unfortunately, when Veta takes Elwood to the sanatorium, the staff advance to contemplate that the fluttery socialite is crazy, and is trying to net her sunny brother out of the plan. So they lock her up, and let him go. After that mistake is straightened out, the psychiatric staff and Elwood’s long-suffering family try to come by him…. and Harvey.

If we ever saw Elwood P. Dowd (“Here, let me give you one of my cards”) in a car, the bumper sticker would probably say, “Reality is highly overrated.” The immense theme of the movie is that reality can be harsh, and that it’s not necessarily a poor thing to lapse out of it into the fantasies of our enjoy minds. If Elwood isn’t hazardous and is otherwise normal, who cares if he has an imaginary friend?
Is Harvey accurate? The film leaves that up to our imaginations. And in the raze, it doesn’t matter if Harvey is a figment of Elwood’s imagination, or a respectable spirit. It’s the achieve he has on Elwood that is critical. His presence makes Elwood blissful and relaxed, and Elwood makes others glad and relaxed — even the hard-boiled head of the psychiatric ward, who lies down on his occupy couch and tells his secrets to Elwood.
This actually isn’t too screwballish a comedy — positive, there’s the running joke where Elwood politely introduces Harvey to people he meets. And the scene where Veta is committed is hilarious. But it’s more of a heartwarmer than a comedy, from Elwood softening the lead shrink to Myrtle May finding cherish with a lovable blue-collar worker from the sanatorium.
James Stewart gives a wonderfully dreamy performance, slightly smelling of booze and flowers — his Elwood P. Dowd is mild-mannered, sweet, valiant, courteous, and oh-so-pleasant. And he’s learned the value of objective enjoying the shrimp things in life, like a flower, a beer or a talk with a friend. And Josephine Hull brings up a shimmering performance as his frazzled sister, with several other kindly actors rounding off the supporting cast.
Who is crazier — the ecstatic man with the imaginary rabbit, or the people who want him to be 100% sane and less pleased? You gain the call. With a sweet, surreal epic and a flawless cast “Harvey” is one of those rare movies that does an unspecifiable number on your heartstrings.
Elwood P. Dowd is overjoyed to part a drink with anybody he meets, and he likes to give them his card and invite them to have dinner at his home. His charm is disarming. People will sigh their troubles over a drink, he says. Then he introduces them to his friend, Harvey, and Harvey is sooo great bigger than anything they’ve got… Harvey is an invisible (usually), six-foot large white rabbit. Harvey is also too gargantuan for Elwood’s society-conscious sister, Veta, and her unattached daughter, Myrtle Mae, to cope with. Veta makes a mistake, however, when she tries to rep Elwood committed to a sanatorium.

Jimmy Stewart is apt as Elwood P. Dowd, but Josephine Hull steals the demonstrate as his totally flustered sister. She is, quite simply, at her wits’ kill. This is one of only two movies that I know of that feature Hull (the other is “Arsenic and Outmoded Lace”) . Both are personal favorites, and Hull is generous in both. The rest of the cast is also outstanding in this adaptation from a classic Broadway play. Many moments are hilarious, some are touching, and it all adds up to a terrific movie. This witty romp will be welcome in almost anyone’s video library.
