The best parts of the movie Mitty are the ones that hew closer to Thurber, because they put the cartoonish Kaye in a world every bit as nutty.

Based on the story by James Thurber, adapters Ken Englund and Everett Freeman attempt to include too much, throwing off the pacing.

Great Danny Kaye fantasy-comedy, making far turns from Thurber story basis.

Audience Reviews for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Dec 28, 2013The original "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" is not the best executed story of all time, getting a little jumbled in all it's cleverness, but it sure holds your attention and makes you laugh a lot. The actors all bring their A-Game to this picture, and through the normal sequences, to the daydream sequences, it's almost flawless transitioning for it's time. Being made in 1947, this film sure must have been a wonder to it's original audience. There is some very unique filming techniques and the colour tones of everything was decided perfectly. The script for this film is very whimsical and enjoyable to say the very least. When Walter Mitty enters his dream worlds, his character always goes off the rails into a performance that I will remember forever, purely off of it's fun vibe. This is not a perfect film in any way, due to the fact that it can become a little unfocussed as to what it is trying to convey to it's audience, but nevertheless, it's a great film!KJ P Super Reviewer

Mar 13, 2009Whimsical, telling fable about ordinary life and memorable star vehicle for Danny Kaye, playing the dual role of milquetoast in real life and he-man in his dreams.hawk l Super Reviewer

Sep 07, 2007Walter Mitty is a man who constantly escapes the confines of his boring life through day dreams. His world is suddenly turned upside down when he meets a mysterious woman who inadvertently draws him into a conspiracy of murder and hidden jewels. This might just be my favorite Danny Kaye film. The day dream sequences are Kaye at his comedic best and the dramatic scenes highlight his vulnerability and skill as an actor. There's an innocence and charm about this movie that makes it an enduring, timeless classic.Kevin S Super Reviewer
