As a special Easter article, FilmInFocus puts together a list of the best and weirdest films involving our floppy-eared friends.
Slide 2: Harvey (1950)
The first great rabbit movie never actually features a rabbit on screen, despite the impression given by certain posters and promotional images. The eponymous Harvey, a 6 foot three and a half inch tall white rabbit, is the best friend of Elwood P. Dowd (James Stewart), but is invisible because he’s a Pooka, a playful creature from Celtic mythology, seen only by Dowd. Based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Mary Chase, the movie features great, Oscar-nominated performances by Stewart and Josephine Hull, as Elwood’s sister who begins to believe that Harvey may, in fact, exist. Steven Spielberg announced plans to remake this classic film in 2009, but they were shelved shortly afterwards.
