December 20, 1950 –
Henry Koster’s adaptation of Mary Chase’s Broadway play, Harvey, starring Jimmy Stewart premiered in NYC on this date.
Though Jimmy Stewart’s character, Elwood P. Dowd, may certainly be referred to as an alcoholic, only at one time in the entire picture is he seen taking a drink. This is because the Hollywood Production Code at the time would not allow him to be shown getting drunk on film.
