- A rare television movie starring an amazing cast! Jimmy Stewart returns to his iconic role alongside Helen Hayes, Arlene Francis, and Madeline Kahn in one of her first film roles. I dare say it's a better film than the previous film version.
We saw him with Helen Hayes and Jessy white on Broadway . Harvey got a 15 minute standing ovation !
jimmy stewart is .....always was....and always will be....THEE MAN!!!
Yes, it was the first thing I ever saw Jimmy Stewart in. I also liked Harry Anderson's 1993 television version. So far as I know, he is the only other person to perform the role in a film or television version.
Well, it's always a pleasure to see Jimmy Stewart, and I am pleased to see that Harvey hasn't aged one bit. He looks just as tall and fluffily white as in 1950 😉 But the old movie is much funnier because the comedic timing is much more precise. Back then they knew how to do conversation comedies!
After doing Harvey in HS in 1970, I got to see The Play in NYC in 1972 . Our junior class met Mr. Stewart, shook his hand and went home to back to my college of Shippensburg.
Rarely can an actor reprise a role the second time successfully but Stewart certainly demonstrated his unique acting abilities. And I now believe in POOKAS!! Thank you!
It's a superb play, full of wit and comedy. PS, as to pookas, Harvey seems like a "tulpa", but that's a whole different discussion😉

How could anyone criticize Helen Hayes and Madeline Kahn in this show? While the earlier movie had a different cast with different chemistry, this one is fresh and clever, well-acted and charming! It's wonderful!
I was recently in the play and I played Wilson
I like the 1950s one better but, I'm glad to have been able to see this. Thank you for sharing. :)
So many great actors & actresses in this version!
Peggy Dow who played Nurse Kelly in the 1950 version is still alive and kicking in 2022 at 94 years of age! ❤And to see Jesse White from the original was a treat too. And James McArther's
Mother, Helen Hayes.
Thank you I love this movie as I miss all these great actors and actress.
This version I have never seen before.
Thank you!
I saw this on Broadway in 1970! Oh, thank you, thank you for posting this!
Me too!
My goodness, my #1 favorite movie and Jimmy Stewart remade it!? I have never seen this, thanks for posting!
Loved Jimmy (Elwood P. Dowd) and Veda, but also fascinated by Cecil Kellaway's role, that was a classic scene when he tries to hi-jack Harvey as his new friend to Akron, Ohio!
I loved this movie as a kid. I thought Harvey was just a ten foot white rabbit. I didn't know what a pooka (puca) was back then. If you watch this movie from that perspective, it puts a whole new spin on things.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I didn't even know it existed.
Don't forget Jesse White is reprising his role too. What a voice.
Anne Cramer, as is Arlene Francis as Mrs. Chumley.
Have to wonder if there are any Maytags in the sanatorium....
@@johnwillard8311 If there are they probably broke down.
This is the version I grew up with. We taped it on VHS when I was a kid haha. I just recently watched the 1950 version though and loved it. They're both great, very funny and charming.
Agreed!
THANKS for posting. This beats all the other stuff even with all its faults. It made me LAUGH so much. good movie!!!
Actually..this is the second tv adaptation of Ms.Mary Chase's stage play..the first tv version aired on "Dupont Show Of The Month""with Art Carney as"Elwood P.Dowd"on CBS TV in 1958.
Great memory!
Thanks for posting this, I didn't even know it existed:-)
Beautifully done!
It is a good movie , with a great cast.
I still like the Original better.
Thanks for the movie.
Starring Jimmy Stewart, reprising the lead role of Edward P. Dowd. It was broadcast 21 March 1972, almost 22 years after the release of the popular film on 21 December 1950 and nearly 28 years after the opening of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway play on 1 November 1944.
Arlene Francis, who played Mrs. Chumley in the large screen film version reprises the same role here, but as an older society matriarch in this made-for-television version.
Jesse White also reprised his role as Wilson.
Madeleine Kahn wasn't reprising a role. This was her television debut. Her feature film debut was in the comedy "What's Up, Doc?," which was released just eleven days earlier on 10 March 1072. (Virtually no one would have recognized her in this television role unless they had just seen the just-released movie.)
… And presumably, but by no means certainly, Harvey, in the titular role.
The fuzzy quality aside, I really loved this impression of Harvey done by Jimmy Stew-beef.....Boo-ya, the big man, jimmy stewart: the tom hanks of all time.
What a nice treat!! Loved the original and this one was a treat with Mr. Stewart and Jesse Wright reprising their roles :) Each has good points but quite honestly I love the original, but this one is just as entertaining for me!! Thank you for posting!!!!
I played a bag of chips in the 1950 version. James Stewart started to eat me and then he wasn't hungry anymore so he threw me onvthe ground but that scene ended up on the cutting room floor.. I was so grateful that I had the opporunity to be his chips though and I much prefer the other version but this is o.k. 😊😊😊😊😊
omg, same wilson too.
This is unwatchable, for me. But thank you so much for the opportunity to finally see it! Wonderful cast! Guess I wouldn't much care for remakes of Wizard of Oz, Blade Runner, or Young Frankenstein either. Didn't much care for the remastered Beatles disks either. Instead of remaking the original, why not tell us new adventures of Harvey and Ellwood!? Hmmm? :)
Originally telecast on March 22, 1972.
Please understand that, nothing beats the ORIGINAL.
I don't understand. 😜
I don't know why Elwood's family is so shocked by a giant invisible rabbit. I have 2 and nobody ever said anything about them to me.
J S, glad to hear that! Do your rabbits get along with each other? 😉
@JS-ob4oh: I bet no one would mistake you for Jimmy Stewart. But I would check your rabbits because I think someone ate them.
For anyone looking for Arlene, she shows up at 25:00. :-)

R.D. Dragon - Thank you! Yes I was looking for Arlene. :)
@@lauracollins4195 Arlene Francis?
It's surprising to me that some of the people in the comments have no idea that Harvey was a long running Broadway play before it became a movie in 1950. James Stewart revived the play on Broadway in 1970, and it's that 1970 revival that Hallmark Hall of Fame decided to recreate here.
Did anyone notice Madeleine Kahn as the nurse and Richard Mulligan (Soap and Empty Nest) as the doctor?
There isn't one comment that indicates that "the people in the comments have no idea that Harvey was a long-running Broadway play before it became a movie in 1950".
this is good but not on the same level as the classic 1950 film.
Cathy Cartee, Jimmy Stewart considered it his best performance in the role of Elwood P. Dowd.
@@inkyguy , Jimmy Stewart was right!
Anyone have an even better video quality of this?
He may as well have telephoned it in.
hey guys it me zach
What happened to the sound?
HOORAY Jimmy Stewart Hooray Harvey & all Pookas.
WOW!!! How koooool is this. Helen Hayes & all. Have never seen or heard of this version. I wish there was a way I could record this for my collection. Thank You So VERY Much for this upload. V THANK YOU!!!!!! I will subscribe. That may not seem like much but I DO NOT subscribe to things. The Wright Time Thomas
I have the original on DVD it's a great film that always makes me laugh. Saw stage version in MCR at the Exchange theatre which was also very good. Deserves all the awards and praise it receives
can almost watch, expect for the poor audio ...
Can someone tell me what this is about I need help.
no compare with the 50s original class..
Can't watch any more of this. The soundtrack is so distracting.
I'm not getting any sound?
Same here
@cblanc: Your ears are either plugged or your sound is off.
is.nt Harvey a blue bird from nickolodeon
Other than Jimmy Stewart and Jesse White, the performances lack the charm of the original movie...
And where's the rest?
Good bot not as good as the original
Not comparable to the 1950 classic, shot in black and white. Josephine Hull deservedly got an Oscar and Helen Hayes just doesn't (and can't, given her limited range in playing dithery old ladies or much of anything else) hack it. In fact, this version is fairly, to put it kindly, awful. No offense to Hayes fans, but lets face it - if anyone deserved the title of the First Lady of theater, it was Ethel Barrymore. James Stewart is James Stewart is James Stewart and that is just fine with me. He's a sweetheart of a personality and given a good role, he's an excellent actor.
daniel stanwick, I have to agree. Harvey is his usual invisible self, and he has not aged at all 😉 And it's lovely to see Jimmy Stewart again. His 1950 performance was great. But this version is very inferior. The tempo and line delivery is not as precise as in the older version.
Oh, just AWFUL. People would be better off not even trying to recreate a classic.
I hate this version! Not nearly the movie of the original. Mr. Stewart is fine, but the rest of the cast is horrible!!! Never do this again please!!!!!
@marysalazar4990: Well since Hallmark doesn’t sponsor TV adaptations of plays and musicals anymore, the likelihood of future adaptations is null.
