Universal's new Blu-ray of Henry Koster's Harvey, is beautiful.
As one of the new restorations for the studio's centenary, Harvey has received the full quality job. No liquid wax used here.
Working substantially from the film's original nitrate negative, with some reels derived from a fine grain master, scans have been performed in 2k via wet-gate, and the resultant imagery is stunning and film-like.
Black levels, gray scale, shadow detail is all in place, with a pleasing grain structure. Audio is superb.
A great film. A wonderful tale about our favorite pooka, as brought to the screen by a quality filmmaker.
Harvey has never looked better, and actually looks taller than his 6' 8" height.

A great deal of time, effort and love went into this one.
Highly Recommended.
