Human-sized rabbits are real — and if you don’t believe that, then we have a Santa Claus to sell you. Jimmy Stewart and Jake Gyllenhaal know the struggle. It’s no coincidence that their names start with J. As in J/K. Two Films, One Ticket. See one or see both. The choice is yours.
HARVEY
Dir. Henry Koster | USA | 1950 | 104min | NR | DCP
Affable tippler Elwood P. Dowd (James Stewart) lives with his sister Veta (Josephine Hull) and her bashful daughter. They hate his drinking, but what rankles them more is his faithful companion: a 6-foot-tall invisible rabbit named Harvey. Watch the Trailer
“If you're for warm and gentle whimsey, for a charmingly fanciful farce and for a little touch of pathos anent the fateful evanescence of man's dreams, then the movie version of HARVEY is definitely for you.” —Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
DONNIE DARKO
