*HARVEY (1950) Continuity & Dialogue Script James Stewart And Invisible Rabbit

Description

This is a
vintage Continuity & Dialogue copy script
(not a vintage original script) from the classic 1950's fantasy comedy/drama,
HARVEY
, released in 1950 by Universal Pictures and
directed by Henry Koster
. Based upon the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Mary Chase, due to his insistence that he has an invisible six foot-tall rabbit for a best friend, a whimsical middle-aged man (James Stewart) is thought by his family to be insane -- but he may be wiser than anyone knows. The cast includes Wallace Ford, William H. Lynn, Victoria Horne, Jesse White, Cecil Kellaway, Charles Drake, Peggy Dow, Josephine Hull, and Nana Bryant.
The screenplay was also written by Mary Chase, based upon her own novel. Created after the final cut of this film was assembled and titled, this Continuity & Dialogue script breaks the film down by each reel (eleven reels total) and includes a description of the action in the left column with the corresponding dialogue in the right column. It was printed on white stock which was 3-hole punched and bound with two brass brads between a textured black cardstock front and back cover. It is complete in very fine condition without any missing pages, tears, stains, or other flaws, nor are there any handwritten notations present within.
Cast member Josephine Hull won an Academy Award for "Best Actress in a Supporting Role" for her performance as Veta Louise Dowd Simmons. James Stewart later declared in an interview that Hull had the most difficult role in the film, since she had to believe and not believe in the invisible rabbit ... at the same time. In may interviews, Stewart referred to his role of "Elwood P. Dowd" as his favorite.
