If you loved Jede Frau braucht einen Engel, try Mein Freund Harvey
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Henry Koster, and they both carry the bittersweet, cozy, playful, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Jede Frau braucht einen Engel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Mein Freund Harvey is
One imagines this film played very differently in Eisenhower's America. Kindly Elwood P. Dowd's insistence on the existence of his giant rabbit friend causes his exasperated sister to attempt to have him committed. Sanity and madness become delightfully difficult to distinguish, even if the answers seem rather obvious.
