				"Years ago my mother used to 
				say to me, "In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so 
				pleasant." 
				For years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. 
				And you may quote me." - Elwood P. Dowd Why watch this?
				It's one of Stewart's best and most beloved films. 
				Plot Summary: 
						Elwood P. Dowd, a kind and eccentric man, claims his 
						best friend is an invisible, 
						six-foot-three-and-a-half-inch tall rabbit named Harvey. 
						His sister, Veta Louise, is determined to have Elwood 
						committed to a sanitarium due to his insistence on 
						Harvey's existence, which is hindering her family's 
						social standing and her daughter's marriage prospects. A 
						comedic mix-up at the sanitarium leads to Veta Louise 
						being temporarily committed herself, forcing Elwood to 
						navigate the situation with his usual pleasant demeanor 
						and the help of his unseen companion. 
				Dad's Preview: 
				We all know someone who is a little "touched". Elwood sees 
				a giant pooka. Gotta love him. The script is just so off-the-wall that you 
				can't help but love this film. Sure our protagonist is a little 
				strange, but aren't those 
				oddities the traits that make people unique and interesting in 
				the first place? It is certainly an entertaining movie... and it 
				just might hop right into your heart.
