The classic stage hit gets the Hollywood treatment in the story of Elwood P. Dowd who makes friends with a spirit taking the form of a human-sized rabbit named Harvey that only he sees (and a few privileged others on occasion also.) After his sister tries to commit him to a mental institution, a comedy of errors ensues. Elwood and Harvey become the catalysts for a family mending its wounds and for romance blossoming in unexpected places.
Zijn zus schaamt zich dood voor Elwood P. Dowd, want hij heeft een onzichtbaar konijn van 2 meter bij zich, luisterend naar de naam Harvey. Daarom tracht ze hem uit de weg te houden om haar dochter aan de man te brengen. Elwood verschijnt echter wel en stuurt de boel in de war. Ze wil hem in een inrichting stoppen maar daar denken ze dat zij gek is en hij niet.
Elwood is a good-natured, slightly sloshed man whose faithful companion is a 6-foot 3-1/2 inch rabbit that only he can see. When his sister Veta (Josephine Hull) tries to have him committed, she's taken in instead. It's up to Elwood and Harvey to straighten out the mess. James Stewart stars in his most amiable, bumbling mode. The film is based on Mary Chase's Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Academy Award Nominations: 1, including Best Actor: James Stewart. Academy Awards: 1, Best Supporting Actress: Josephine Hull.

Dowd, a guy who befriends a six and one-half foot tall rabbit. A Jonathan Tropper-scripted feature based on the original stage play temporarily hooked Steven Spielberg in 2009, but the filmmaker dropped out of the Fox-DreamWorks co-production because of difficulty finding the right guy to play Dowd, whom James Stewart portrayed in the original screen adaptation. Parsons seems like an ideal choice to bring Dowd to life on the stage, and maybe the stage run will reinvigorate the film project, though Parsons an untested commodity in that realm.
