If you to look up "delightful movie" in the dictionary, Harvey would be shown as an example. Even though, by 21st Century standards, Elwood P. Dowd, is an alcoholic and a nut, he's still one on the nicest characters in a movie. One of my favorite Stewart roles. Josephine Hull won Best Supporting Actress and deservedly for playing poor Vita, and won in a tough year to win. Up against Celeste Holm and Thelma Ritter for All About Eve, Nancy Olsen in Sunset Bvld.
"Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it." - Elwood P. Dowd

Harvey (1950), directed by Henry Koster. In memory this is the mildest of the gentle, good natured eccentric family comedies. When watching it I'm pulled into its wacky but humane vision and it always seems so much better than I remember. We think we know James Stewart in all his aspects, but it's amazing how he wears the role like a comfortable suit of clothes, as if he's been Elwood P. Dowd all his life. I suspect everyone would start seeing the pooka if they hung around long enough. Like the artist who painted his portrait? But I don't know who drinks his martinis, unless... well, never mind. Obviously adapted from a stage play, which can be a problem, but in this case the story is opened up into a number of locations. Photographed by William H. Daniels; you can tell. I identify movies by the director, but if I were a real cinephile I would pay vastly more attention to the rest of the crew. Available on a very nice Blu-ray, with an image both detailed and finely grained.

I'm a huge fan of James Stewart and Harvey is one of his best performances. The movie itself is really good too.
