In a favorite role he would revisit on stage and television, James
Stewart plays Elwood P. Dowd, amiable bachelor whose best friend is an invisible, six-foot-plus
rabbit named Harvey. This gentle comedy, directed by Henry
Koster from the
Pulitzer Prize-winning play, manages in its sweetness to touch on darker issues,
such as alcoholism and mental illness. With Josephine
Hull (Oscar winner).
