Harvey


I saw the play "Harvey" recently. It was staged at my Alma mater Warwick HS. I played Dr. Sanderson my Senior year, and was anxious to see it for the first time since. It was a classic movie from 1950 starring Jimmy Stewart. It features Elwood P. Dowd, who gets thru his days with his beat friend-- a six foot tall invisible rabbit name Harvey. It was well done by Warwick Thespians! Nowadays, the shows at high school level are incredible with their sound, high-tech sets, and bigger budgets!

Some rabbit test trivia~

1.) What was the fitst film that featureed Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse together?
2.) White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane makes references to what tale?
3.) The character of Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom is from what novel?
4.) In 1980, Eddie Rabbitt hit #1 with "I love A..." What?
5.) What rabbit was the first soft toy patented in 1901?


1.) Who Framed Roger Rabbit
2.) Alice In Wonderland
3.) Rabbit Run, by John Updike
4.) Rainy Night
5.) Peter Rabbit

Fun fact!
Spielberg is re-making the classic! It is a rabbit's tail worth re-tellng. However, Stewart is forever etched as the aloof Elwood. He will be hard to replace.
