h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Old films are good for me because I can't remember watching them, I can vaguely remember one with a white rabbit in it though, lifesize and only visible to the star of the film, whose name escapes me but he was also in Spirit of St Louis.

I worked with a chap who was the chief chemist at a pipe works who was the special effects man for some of those films,including Mutiny on the Bounty, his name appears in the credits so Sid Pearson, who had stories of all night and day boozing sessions with the stars.

That would be Harvey. My favorite line is when Elwood Dowd (James Stewart) talks about meeting the pookah for the first time.

It goes something like "I heard someone call my name and turned around to see a six foot white rabbit leaning against a lamp post. Well, this didn't surprise me a bit. When you live in a small town such as this you get used to everyone knowing your name."

that's logic if ever i saw it

The running gag in the movie is that the calmest person in it is Elwood, who's obviously insane, while the sane people are going nuts trying to deal with Elwood. Very funny.

indeed, elwood and harvey are the only sane entities - both on the screen and in the rest of the cinema

Maybe I'll have to try that one.

I'm useless at picking classic films though, I always get the wrong ones.
