As part of its 100th Anniversary this year, Universal Studios Home Entertainment will offer special re-issues of selected catalog titles, and the Harvey Blu-ray will arrive in the March wave. Director Henry Koster's screen adaptation of the Mary Chase stageplay stars James Stewart (It's a Wonderful Life) as Elwood P. Dowd, a charming, well-liked member of his smalltown community...who also claims to pal around with a six-foot-tall rabbit.
Fearing social ostracization, Elwood's sister (Josephine Hull, Arsenic and Old Lace) tries to have her brother committed to a mental institution in order to "fix" his delusion, thus setting off a gently comic chain of events wherein Elwood and "Harvey" help teach those around them a valuable lesson about tolerance and the power of imagination.
Universal's Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack presents the film in its 1.37:1 original aspect ratio with a 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio track. The disc also contains the following supplements:
