Dipsomania Week! concludes at Trailers from Hell with director and TFH creator Joe Dante introducing Henry Koster’s 1950 classic “Harvey,” starring James Stewart as Elwood P. Dowd, a man convinced he’s become companions with a six-foot rabbit.
One of Stewart’s most memorable performances anchors a
comedy classic that’s enriched by the seriousness of its basic premise. Funny,
sad and captivating, it’s that rare example of a well-loved movie that plumbs
deeper depths than it’s given credit for. It’s been restaged often for
television and there’s always talk of a theatrical remake, but it’s hard to see
how director Koster’s version of Mary Hadley Chase’s play could be
topped.
