8 votes for Harvey and only 3 for The Shop Around the Corner?
Bad show, ILX.
― Hubie Brown, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 18:02 (sixteen years ago) link
still haven't seen The Mortal Storm, and Harvey getting more votes than Anatomy of a Murder = disgraceful.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 18:56 (sixteen years ago) link
But... but... Harvey is brilliant. And Stewart in it is wonderful!

i can't even think of a better actor than stewart, much less one who appeared in so many astonishing movies.

I've never gotten through Harvey, so I am slackjawed about this:
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Steven Spielberg will soon be seeing imaginary rabbits.
The filmmaker will direct as his next film a contemporary adaptation of Mary Chase's play "Harvey," about a (DRUNK) man and his friendship with an invisible, six-foot tall rabbit.
20th Century Fox and DreamWorks will co produce the project. Novelist Jonathan Tropper ("The Book of Joe") has written the adaptation for the new version.
"Harvey" was first adapted for the screen in 1950 with James Stewart in the starring role as Elwood P. Dowd. He received an Oscar nomination, while Josephine Hull took the prize for her supporting role.
No casting for the remake is in place yet; filming is set to begin early next year. Spielberg was last in theaters with 2008's "Indiana Jones" sequel.

I bought a pristine copy of Anatomy of a Murder last week -- still underrated as an "exploration" of how Stewart manipulated his aw-shucks persona for selfish ends (i.e. overturning a murder conviction on specious grounds).

Please got don't let it be Mike Myers or Jim Carrey (or even worse, Mike Myers WITH Jim Carrey as Harvey, made visible to the audience for added gurning hilarity!)

'the mortal storm' isn't that great except for margaret sullavan's death scene which is of course classic. he was always great with margaret sullavan.

As Trinere once sang, wrong!
― Kevin John Bozelka, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 04:42 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, mortal storm is pretty good iirc
― velko, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 04:53 (fourteen years ago) link
is it really possible that Spielberg would have any Elwood P Dowd but Tom Hanks?
― Indiana Morbs and the Curse of the Ivy League Chorister (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 12:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, when I read that it seemed pretty obvious to me the role is for Tom Hanks.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 12:27 (fourteen years ago) link
i dunno 'the mortal storm' ranks with anti-fascist things like '3 comrades' and is to be more applauded for its message than the finished product. but they both have margaret sullavan and i love margaret sullavan so they are both pretty good. i wonder what the rules were on the accents in these movies, some people have them, some don't, was it a case that if you couldn't quite fake it they just told you to skip it? frank morgan as doddering old "jewish" college professor is great.
― keythkeythkeyth, Thursday, 6 August 2009 05:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Tom Hanks would be a fine choice, assuming the movie needs to be remade at all, which it does not.

Oh Jesus... a visible Harvey would be one of the worst butcherings of a movie I've even heard of.

I'm pretty sure Harvey didn't need to be made the first time. If you want funny drunks, WC Fields is the man, no rabbit crap.
― Indiana Morbs and the Curse of the Ivy League Chorister (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 6 August 2009 11:29 (fourteen years ago) link
You don't understand. Harvey has Jimmy Stewart.
― Black bread and Victory gin AGAIN? (kenan), Thursday, 6 August 2009 11:33 (fourteen years ago) link
we need a Margaret Sullavan poll!
― Anatomy of a Morbius (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 6 August 2009 11:34 (fourteen years ago) link
xp And he's not funny in the same way at all. He's a little bit obviously insane. WC Fields is more like, you want to buy him another drink, instead of back slowly away.
― Black bread and Victory gin AGAIN? (kenan), Thursday, 6 August 2009 11:35 (fourteen years ago) link
Come to think of it, the real danger of a Harvey remake, even with Tom Hanks, and even with the very best intentions, is that it would make it all too sad.
― Black bread and Victory gin AGAIN? (kenan), Thursday, 6 August 2009 11:43 (fourteen years ago) link
Harvey pretty much IS a proto-Hanks movie, all "high concept," etc.
― Anatomy of a Morbius (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 6 August 2009 11:45 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't know how high concept it is. He's a complete souse who has gone totally mad. Bu he does charm. Oh yes he does.

Oh. I see what you mean.

Worse thing about the remake will be the CGI rabbit.

NO NO NO if there's a rabbit it falls apart!

Re Anatomy: his trademark marblemouth pronunciation is used to maximum effect when he keeps on emphasizing a certain word not heard in movies up until then, the aural equivalent of holding up a piece of evidence with tweezers.
