Movie Reviews of Harvey
Movie Review: big bunny
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a classic I love Harvey and we were very pleased with everything thank youMovie Review: I recommend pleasant....
Summary: 5 Stars
Jimmy Stewart creates the wonderfully endearing character of Elwood P. Dowd. Dowd has a genuine interest in his fellow man and has made the choice in life to be pleasant. He goes along through life smelling the flowers and inviting everyone to his home. His best friend and protector is an invisible 6 foot three-and-a-half inch tall rabbit named Harvey. Elwood is the friendly type who wishes to introduce everyone to Harvey. This creates no small stir at home. His sister Veta (Josephine Hull) and niece (Victoria Horne) wish for a normal society life, and finally after a disastrous party determine to commit Elwood to the sanatorium.
There are a lot of positive perspectives found in this movie as everyone who cares for Dowd wishes to help him while he in turn ends up indirectly helping them. This charming film was a favorite of Jimmy Stewart and is well worth adding to the film library.
Movie Review: Harvey=Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
James Stewart in a roll that is anything but Vertigo. Here Mr. Stewart plays Elwood P. Dowd a likeable fellow who's only problem is his friend Harvey, a 6 foot 3 1/2in. rabbit that only he can see (much to his sister Veta Louise* chagrin). A great film for the entire family as Dowd, and Harvey teach us all a little about kindness and friendship.
*Josephine Hull (Aresenic and Old Lace) won a 1960 Best Supporting Actress Acadamy Award for her role as Veta Louise Dowd.
Movie Review: Trouble staying awake
Summary: 1 Stars
Can't understand what all the fuss is over this movie. It's cute but so boring. I could hardly stay awake. Movie Review: Elwood P. Dowd and Harvey, Friends for Life!
Summary: 5 Stars
Harvey is one of my favorite black and white classic movies.
Jimmy Stewart is Elwood P. Dowd, an ever so tipsy gentleman, that introduces his friend, Harvey, to almost everyone he meets.
Harvey happens to be a six foot invisible rabbit, a pooka! A pooka, according to Irish folklore, is a mischievous spirit, especially one that takes on the form of an animal. In this instance the pooka is a rabbit, one that only Elwood P. Dowd can see. A pooka can enter through locked doors and windows and is said to be here and there, there and here, everywhere and anywhere.
Elwood P. lives with his easily flustered sister, Veta Louise, superbly played by Josphine Hull, and her daughter, Myrtle Mae (Victoria Horne). Myrtle Mae desperately wants to get married and, Uncle Elwood, because of Harvey, stands in the way. Elwood will do anything to keep Veta Louise happy even if it means being sent to a sanitarium. This is where everything literally goes crazy!
Poor Veta Louise is mistaken as the one being commited! Enter in the man of Myrtle Mae's dreams in the form of Wilson, a male nurse played by Jesse White, the first Maytag repairman. Myrtle Mae's romance with Wilson gets off to a rocky start when he is the one who must forcefully keep Veta Louise locked in the sanitarium. Every time she sees him she screams and says, "Stay away from that man, Myrtle Mae, and keep him away from me"!
Complicating matters further at the sanitarium, is the relationship, or lack of one, between Dr. Sanderson, (Charles Drake) and Nurse Kelly, (Peggy Dow). They are in charge when the mixup happens and find themselves having to find Elwood P. and bring him back.
Dr. Chumley, played by the talented Cecil Kellaway, is the head of the sanitarium. He encounters Elwood P. Dowd and Harvey and soon develops a bond with Harvey. Dr. Chumley wants Harvey to stay with him and Elwood, who wants what's best for Harvey, reluctantly leaves without his best friend.
The bewildered, impatient taxi driver, played by talented Wallace Ford, (I know you will recognize him) drives the family back and forth to the sanitarium. He and Veta Louise's friend and, not so secret admirer, Judge Gaffney, played by the scraggly voiced William Lynn, add wonderful color to the story. If you have never seen this movie, now in DVD, you will be in for a treat! ~ Mrs. B.
