Harvey
Elwood P. Dowd (Jimmy Stewart) is a good-natured, slightly sloshed man whose faithful companion Harvey is a 6-foot-3-inch rabbit that only he can see. When his sister Veta (Josephine Hull) tries to have him committed, she's taken in instead - and it's up to Elwood and Harvey to straighten out the mess. Based on Mary Chase's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, HARVEY's sweetness and humanity - as well as Stewart's trademark amiability - has made it one of the most beloved films of all time.

An amiably batty play with splendid lines is here transferred virtually intact to the screen and survives superbly thanks to understanding by all concerned, though the star is as yet too young for a role which he later made his own.

Great clasic with Jimmy Stewart
I have always loved this film since I was young and I showed this to my children who thought it funny too.

Dowd, the character made famous by Stewart in the original 1950 film. Hanks is said to have turned the project down, along with second choice actor Robert Downey Jr., according to Variety. Read more
