Jimmy Stewart is is 6'3". So why does he looking up at Harvey as if he is almost 7' tall?

Maybe Harvey is constantly levitating off the ground? Lol. He's magical, try not to think about it!

It's funny. I never thought about it until I just watched it again.

Jimmy was playing 5' 9". The script says Harvey is taller than Elwood.

Harvey is six foot three and a half, isn't he? Long time since I've seen it, but isn't there a line of dialogue confirming that? Stewart corrects someone with the 'half' and tells them 'Let's stick to the facts.' Something like that.

That's still not tall enough for the 6'3" Stewart to be looking up at -- but maybe Harvey's height is adaptable... like Godzilla's.

Because Harvey is wearing this hat:
