James Stewart in the heartwarming classic HARVEY (1950) w/ intro by mental health professional Kate Stewart — $7
May 24 : 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
“This classic farce film is a wonderful and heartwarming adventure.” – Lydia Carrick
James Stewart gives one of his finest performances in this lighthearted film based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Mary Chase. Stewart stars as the good-natured Elwood P. Dowd, whose constant companion is Harvey, a six-foot tall rabbit that only he can see. When Elwood’s sister Veta Louise (Josephine Hull, in an Oscar-winning performance) decides to put Elwood in a mental hospital, a hilarious mix-up occurs and she finds herself committed instead. It’s up to Elwood to straighten out the mess with his kindly philosophy, a bit of drink, and his “imaginary” friend. This popular classic, which now celebrates its 75th anniversary, has delighted audiences for generations with its subtly subversive call for radical acceptance.
This screening will be introduced by practicing mental health professional and film fanatic Kate Stewart, who also hosts the monthly silent film series, Silents, Please! STL.
