HARVEY
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
Mary Chase won a Pulitzer for her whimsical play about a large, invisible rabbit, which was a Hamilton-size hit in its day: It premiered on Broadway during WWII, in 1944, and ran for five years, until 1949. When the play closed, this movie version was made and released in 1950, with Chase writing the screenplay adaptation of her own stage comedy. But while Josephine Hill reprised her role as Veta Louise Simmons, the actor starring as the man who claimed Harvey as a friend, Frank Fay, was not cast in the film. Instead, the role of Elwood P. Dowd went to James Stewart, who is absolutely charming here.
