Harvey (1950)
Country: US
Technical: bw 104m
Director: Henry Koster
Cast: James Stewart, Josephine Hull
Synopsis:
A sister finally determines to do something about her genially potty brother, who is persuaded that his best friend and drinking partner is a six-foot white rabbit.
Review:
Since the brother is Jimmy Stewart recreating his stage success in the role, and he is all but synonymous with homespun, folksy charm, we naturally do not want him to be disabused as to Harvey's existence. This is a comic gem of a performance, and the film has many cherishable moments, not least the quid pro quo concerning the doctor and Nurse Kelly's 'mistake'. Stewart's walk alone is a delight to watch, and to think he did this the same year as Winchester 73...
