Synopsis

Elwood  P.  Dowd  (James  Stewart)  and  his  best  friend  Harvey are
inseparable.  They  go  everywhere  together,  spreading  warmth  and
kindness  throughout  all  the  bars  in  town.  The  only trouble is that
Harvey is a 'Pooka' -- a six foot-plus rabbit that only Elwood  can  see.
When  Elwood  and  Harvey  embarrass  the  former's  social-climbing
sister Veta Louise (an Oscar-winning Josephine Hull) once  too  often,
she finally opts to get Elwood the treatment she thinks he needs, and
arranges  to  have  him  installed in the local mental asylum. However,
Harvey's unseen but ever-felt presence ensures that  all  does  not  go
according to plan.
