- 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.

  Where's that rabbit?
  
  This film, while not a cartoon, is very evocative of Bugs Bunny! Well acted, but not well scripted...

  Have you met Harvey?
  
  Hilariously funny observation on (in the words of Robert Burns) man's inhumanity to man carried by the peerless James Stewart.

  Quite simply a gem. A feel-good film from before they'd invented the term 'life-affriming'; it's gentle, warm and affectionate. Oh, and it's... read more »
