Harvey is an old favorite in our house. It's got some of the elements of horror (insane asylum, people who see a huge creature that's not really there, but the creature may actually really be there), but it's a fantasy/comedy. Based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play, the 1950 movie stars James Stewart, Josephine Hull, Peggy Dow, Charles Drake, and Cecil Kellaway. This is a gentle, priceless film, and if you haven't seen it you should rush right out as soon as possible and get this movie.
DVD Talk says, "Filled with memorable performances, great characters, sharp one-liners and tons of heart, it's a true charmer for viewers of all ages. It's also held up well during the last 60+ years". Rotten Tomatoes has a critics score of 84% and an audience rating of 93%.
Because this blog does not consist of a single focus topic I chose the name Divers and Sundry where "Divers" means being of many and various kinds, and "Sundry" means consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds.

Lovely film. Love James Stewart!
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I saw it, it was on one of the late night old movie shows back when I was a child. Sweet :)
