A sweet-natured alcoholic (James Stewart, pictured right) imagines that he has been befriended by a 6 foot 4 inch tall rabbit named Harvey; his sister (Josephine Hull) decides that he, and if necessary Harvey, should be committed to a lunatic asylum.

| Many find this delightful, but I find it much too studied in its whimsicality; the two central performances, though acclaimed at the time, look forced and theatrical today (and Stewart is clearly too young for the role). The view of alcoholism and mental illness as cosily charming is downright bizarre. |
