Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
It's always a small surprise to revisit this movie and realize what a subtly dark performance James Stewart gives as an alcoholic who claims he keeps company with a six-foot-tall, invisible rabbit. As Elwood P. Dowd, the actor emits a faint whiff of decay and spirits, yet Stewart also embraces Dowd's romanticism and grace with splendid ease. Based on a hit play and directed by Henry Koster, the film is terribly funny at times, especially whenever Elwood decides it's only polite to introduce Harvey to complete strangers. The supporting cast can't be beat. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Harvey
A lighthearted comedy with a underlying message for all man kind to be more loving and patient towards others. To stop and smell the flowers.
Rating: - such a sweet movie...
This was such a sweet movie that I purchased it as a Father's Day gift for my dad. He loved it too! Great gift idea.
Rating: - Classic
What a good movie. This is what movies are supposed to be like. This is just a fun movie. Jimmy Stewart is good in this, very believable. Watch this and enjoy.
Rating: - Great movie, but why not in widescreen?
I'm giving the movie itself four stars, but if I were rating the product I would give it only two.
How come the only widescreen release of this movie is the one that comes with the big James Stewart package? It should also be rereleased by itself in widescreen, for those who already own one or more of the movies in the "The James Stewart Hollywood Legend Collection." I don't want to pay over $40 for movies I already own just so I could get "Harvey" in widescreen, but I refuse to buy anything in ... Read More
