    		In March 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald, alias "A. Hidell", purchased a Carcano rifle (also improperly called Mannlicher-Carcano) by mail order. He also purchased a revolver by the same method. It is officially accepted that this was the rifle that was used in the Texas School Book Depository to assassinate President Kennedy. After fingerprint examination of the rifle and further detective work, the real name of the owner of the rifle eventually led to Oswald.

    Stunned to find no quizzes on the superb 1950 film 'Harvey,' herewith, I offer a rectification of this no-longer glaring omission. If you've seen the film, you should do fine. If not, do yourself a great favor and rent it. Warning, spoilers!

    This quiz is about the original 1950 version of "Harvey", starring James Stewart. It is one of my favourite films of all time. The questions should be fairly easy even if you've only seen the film a couple of times. Have fun and good luck!
