Harvey
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.
From the archive
Adaptation of the classic Pulitzer Prize winning play about a man whose best friend is an invisible six foot-tall rabbit, which causes his sister to try to get him committed to a mental institution. James Stewart as Elwood P. Dowd Josephine Hull as Veta Louise Dowd Simmons Charles Drake as Dr. Raymond Sanderson Cecil Kellaway as Dr. William Chumley Jesse White as Martin Wilson Victoria Horne as Myrtle Mae Simmons Wallace Ford as Ellis Logfren, The Taxi Driver Peggy Dow as Miss Kelly William Lynn as Judge Gaffney I colorized this using AI software that doesn't always get the colors right, but I think it looks fairly natural. Hopefully a more professional job will be done someday.
