Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Delirium tremens

I read somewhere that the play was actually on the alcoholic hallucinations of delirium tremens.

[edit] Page move

This page was moved from "Harvey (movie)" to "Harvey (film)" as per the naming convention set out at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) – Ianblair23 17:04, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anachronism is incorrect

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was set in 1947. Harvey (play) won the Pulitzer prize in 1945, so the character of Harvey the invisible rabbit would have been well-known (and mosty likely the subject of many such jokes) in 1947. Therefore it's not an anachronism.

Also, even if the the anachronism was correct, it would be an error in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, not this movie, so it shouldn't be listed here either way.

[edit] height

Is Harvey's height measured to his ears or his head top? :S --Homfrog^{Tell me a story!}_{Contribulations} 20:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore, is it 6'8", as in the synopsis, or 6'3.5" in the top section? Ianthegecko 17:29, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Related trivia?

I've not seen this movie, but the 'imaginary' 6 feet tall, costume-style rabbit friend theme is also used in the movie Donnie Darko ("Frank") and The Sims 2 computer game (the "Social Bunny", appearing when a Sims social needs aren't being met and his mental health declines) - depictions quite possibly inspired by this film. I'll leave it up to you guys to decide whether they should be included in the trivia. ◄ИΞШSΜΛЯΞ ► 16:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pooka stuff=

Okay, I have to correct myself. Earlier I stated that the inclusion of pooka was not warranted in this film, because of Celtic myths basically having nothing to do with Elwood's facination for six feet worth of rabbit. However, upon changing the channel to Turner Classic Movies in which Harvey is playing at this time, and actually hearing Elwood say "Harvey the pooka", I have to admit my own wrongdoings for this page and my own bad edits. So I, and this article, stand corrected. Carajou 02:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
