Previously adapted twice before, most notably for the Oscar-nominated 1950 film starring James Stewart, Mary Chase's classic stage-play Harvey once again receives the celluloid treatment with this 1998 CBS made-for-TV movie. Night Court's Harry Anderson fills Stewart's shoes, starring as the quirky Elwood P. Dowd, a grown man whose best friend is a six-foot-tall rabbit that only he can see. Directed by George Schaefer, the film also stars Swoosie Kurtz and Leslie Nielsen.
