Book Reviews of Harvey
Book Review: Harvey - an under-rated fantasy
Summary: 4 Stars
Linked inexorably with the late, great James Stewart, the play "Harvey" is actually stranger, darker and more clever than most of us remember from the film. Mary Chase establishes three forces in opposition - Elwood (and while this is "his" story, he is a minor character in the play), his family, and the "outsiders" who are caught in the middle. The distinctions between them are bound primarily in their reaction to Harvey, Elwood's best friend.A much darker version of this same story can be seen in the British drama, "The Ruling Class," made into a film in the 1970s featuring Peter O'Toole.
READ "Harvey," then see the film again, and draw your own conclusions. Ms. Chase was quite a writer.
