Jimmothy Stewart? Quite the draw for a movie.
Elwood P. Dowd is a pleasent chap, if a bit odd. He has a friend in Harvey, a six foot rabbit. Life is pleasent for him. Life is rather more unpleasent for others who have to deal with Elwood and Harvey. To the extent of having Elwood committed to a sanitarium... but Harvey is a mischevious sort and so there is lots of shenannigans and escapades and people rushing about and... and finding themselves having a charming time.
This movie annoyed me for quite a while, with everything going well for Elwood and not for others, that sort of thing is just irritating. However, once you get into the groove that the movie is trying for making life better for everyone, I calmed down and got into it.
This was a play, and I can see that. Aside from Harvey, it's just people talking about things, just missing others as they pop on and off stage, no special effects needed.
If you can jive with it, it'll work, but it might be work to work...
