Harvey (1950)
5/10
1-star for content - 10 for acting = 5 stars

This film is beyond ridiculous. An imaginary rabbit and a grown man, combining for comic effect? Where is the comedy? All I see is a pathetic man, surrounded by uninteresting people who have to make a go of the script.

Unless your character is the Mad Hatter or you're the Three Stooges as asylum inmates, mental illness is extremely difficult to make funny in any sort of respectable way. Perhaps this was respectable and the unfunniness is an outgrowth of that.

But whatever it is, it was not a good film. 1 star.

Actors and acting? 10-stars, particularly given the storyline.

Average them out?

5 stars.
