“Harvey” is the story of a perfect gentleman, Elwood P. Dowd, and his best friend, Harvey, who everyone wants to meet. When Elwood begins introducing others to Harvey – a six-foot tall “pooka” (invisible rabbit) – his socially invested and extremely embarrassed sister, Veta Louise, and her daughter, Myrtle Mae, want Harvey gone. They conspire to commit Elwood to a sanitarium but, in a comedy of errors, Veta is committed instead. In the ensuing confusion, the doctors, Veta, and Elwood all try to figure out who really is crazy— and whether the world needs another “normal” chap, or more Harveys.
