The biggest suspense and the most controversial issue in the film is undoubtedly whether Harvey, a six-foot-tall bunny elf, exists. But I found that it doesn't really matter at all. If Harvey exists, the film shows that what most people agree with is not necessarily correct. One should fully respect the opinions and beliefs of others; if Harvey does not exist, I believe that no one will dislike this being kind and sincere to others. The hospitable visionary with no heart in the city, just like the driver's words and his sister's sudden realization: he is much better than those dull and hypocritical "normal people". In any case, the film satirizes the selfishness and arrogance of people in the real world, and promotes an optimistic, positive, innocent and happy lifestyle (this is exactly what Harvey carries). This eternal theme is also the reason why the story of the film can endure. Recent similar movies include "Angels Love Beauty" and so on.
The film allowed James Stewart to win both Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor, but both lost to José Ferrer in Cyrano de Bergerac (Cyrano de Bergerac). However, Josephine Hull, who has previous experience in stage plays, won two awards for Best Supporting Actress for his sister role.
