Harvey review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 06/22/13
"Everyday's a beautiful day." The story revolves around an eclectic Elwood P. Dowd (Stewart), concerned Veta Louise Simmons (Hull), Dr. Lyman Sanderson (Charles Drake) and Myrtle Mae Simmons (Victoria Horne). The screenplay was relly good with insightful lines: Veta - "Well, I'm sorry - life is not easy for any of us." and Elwood - "I always have a wonderful time, wherever I, am, whomever I'm with." "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh, so smart or oh, so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant." "Ah well, some people are blind." "...one can't have too many friends." It's baffling how Elwood always invite people in his place and how little the viewer knows about Harvey. Humor was not that effective as well. Obviously the picture resonates because of the talented James Stewart. If one wants an enjoyable entertaining and smart film about a tall bunny, then opt for the dark comedy/drama Donnie Darko instead.
