This collection is open for research.
Harvey was born in London and educated in prep schools. His introduction to film was
as an actor, playing younger brother, Ptolemy to Vivien Leigh's Cleopatra in
Caesar and Cleopatra (1945). He won a scholarship to the
Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, but soon realized that acting would not be his
calling. His break came at the Shepperton Studios as assistant editor and later
editor for filmmakers John and Roy Boulting. By the 1960s he was editing for such
directors as Bryan Forbes and Stanley Kubrick. After editing
Lolita (1962) and
Dr. Strangelove
(1964), Kubrick asked Harvey to edit
2001: A Space
Odyssey
, but Harvey declined in order to direct his first film
Dutchman, based on the Amiri Baraka play. The
controversial film made in 1966 garnered much attention and won the Golden Lion
award at the Venice Film Festival. His directorial debut also attracted the interest
of actor Peter O'Toole who insisted on Harvey directing his next film
The Lion in Winter (1968).
Lion was a huge success earning Harvey the Directors' Guild Award, as
well as Oscars for best actress for Katharine Hepburn, best screenplay, and best
score. Harvey went on to direct such feature films as
They
Might be Giants
(1971) starring George C. Scott and Joanne Woodward and
The Abdication (1974) with Liv Ullmann. His
television films include
The Glass Menagerie (1973),
again with Hepburn,
The Abduction of Aimee (1976)
with Faye Dunaway, and
Svengali (1983) starring Peter
O'Toole and Jodie Foster.
The collection is organized into the following series: I. Correspondence; II. Films;
and, III. People .
The Harvey mss., 1928-2002, consists of the papers of film editor and director
Anthony Kesteven Harvey, 1930- . The collection includes correspondence, photographs
and stills relating to his films. Also included are promotional material, posters,
and clippings. Of particular interest is Stanley Kubrick's notebook containing scene
variants for his film
Lolita.
