The 1950 film Harvey, starring the legendary Jimmy Stewart, is a film ahead of its time. It's a film that speaks to mental illness. A film that places the value of one's quirks above societal expectations. It's a charming, funny film with an innocence that is seldom seen in theaters today.

Despite some silliness and Jimmy Stewart's occasional tendency to cross the line between sweet and cloying, the movie still holds up. It is one of Stewart's best, as it was also for Henry Koster. [11 Oct 1990, p.13]
