This 1944 Pulitzer prize-winning comedy revolves around the character Elwood P. Dowd, an affable man with a bit of a drinking problem, who claims to have an unseen (and presumably imaginary) friend named “Harvey” — whom Elwood describes as a six-foot, three-and-one-half-inch tall pooka resembling an anthropomorphic rabbit. Elwood introduces Harvey to everyone he meets. His social-climbing sister, Veta, increasingly finds his eccentric behavior embarrassing. She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium to spare her daughter Myrtle Mae and their family from future embarrassment. When they arrive at the sanitarium, a comedy of rather extreme errors ensues. After all is straightened out, it seems that the mild-mannered Elwood’s delusion has had a strange influence on the staff.
Note:  James Stewart starred in the 1950 movie version.
