If Harvey hit the spot, these will too

Witty and playful in the same breath
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

Both lean on dream logic more than on comedy
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

Fantasy with a pulse of wit, in both cases

Playful comedy in both cases
The difference: None of the dream logic Harvey is built on


The same preoccupation in both: based on play or musical
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Harvey does

Dreamlike comedy, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans harder into romance than Harvey does

Playful fantasy, and it commits to that

Both sit in the same dreamlike register


Comedy of the same temperament

Both play fantasy straight
