“Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.” Elwood P. Dowd, “Harvey”

That sums up “Harvey”. A 1950 movie starring James Stewart in the lead role of Elwood P. Dowd. Elwood spends his days (and nights!) visiting his friends and the taverns of his community with his best friend, Harvey. Here is where the conflict of the movie arises. As Elwood explains, Harvey is a “pooka”. What is a pooka you might ask? A pooka, is a mythic Celtic spirit that only appears to certain people. It is often friendly with a mischievous side to it’s personality. Harvey in this case is a 6 foot tall white rabbit that is invisible to most everyone.
