Product Description
Walter Mitty, the bashful, hen-pecked protagonist played by Danny Kaye, is a mild-mannered magazine editor who escapes from his dull, dreary reality in daydreams where the incarnates various swashbuckling heroes (including an RAF fighter ace, a brave sea captain, a riverboat gambler and a virtuosic surgeon) who come to life in spectacular sequences. But reality and dreams collide when a mysterious damsel in distress glamorous Virginia Mayo turns to Walter for help, embroiling him in a real cloak-and-dagger thriller of a struggle with various villains (including all-time baddie Boris Karloff) hot on his trail, bent on recovering an elusive secrete notebook.

One of the funniest movies movies I have ever seen, good old fashioned clean fun. I highly recommend watching this movie, even if you are not a fan of classic cinema. Look out for the tea cup and the dog biscuits, both have many people in tears from laughing so much.

Walter Mitty (played by Danny Kaye) is an inveterate daydreamer - henpecked by his mother, unregarded by his fiancé, and abused by his boss. But, when a man is murdered in his presence, Walter soon finds himself protecting a beautiful woman and running from a group of ruthless hoodlums, and nobody believes that this isn't just another daydream. Now, all that Walter has to do is hold onto his sanity and save that girl! [Color, released in 1947, with a running time of 1 hour, 50 minutes.]
This is a fun movie! Any Danny Kaye (1913-87) movie is worth seeing, and this one is doubly so. It has Danny's great hijinks and his wonderful off kilter singing. I liked the storyline and all of the antics, and the fact that the whole family could sit down and laugh along to this great comedy. If you like good comedy, and want something family-friendly, then you can't do better than this movie - buy it!
