Greetings! In this week's episode of Stamper Cinema, we revisit one of Hollywood’s most beloved and quietly subversive classics: Harvey (1950), starring James Stewart in one of the most charming performances of his career.
Directed by Henry Koster and adapted from Mary Chase’s Pulitzer Prize–winning stage play, Harvey tells the story of Elwood P. Dowd, a gentle, affable man whose best friend just happens to be a six-foot-three invisible rabbit named Harvey. What begins as a light comedy slowly reveals itself as a thoughtful meditation on kindness, conformity, mental health, and the strange rules society uses to decide what’s “normal.”
Joining us this time around is writer/filmmaker Brent Lindstrom. In addition to breaking down why this film still resonates today, Brent is extremely proud to share his fantastic recent novel One for the Money, Two for the Soul. Enjoy!
