- Synopsis
- 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.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Harvey, Mary Chase's Pulitzer Prize play, loses little of its whimsical comedy charm in the screen translation."
-
"Great performances lifts this movie above its stilted script and production."
-
"Charming, lightweight stuff (from a play by Mary Chase), so long as you can take Stewart's ingenuousness, but it does wear thin."
