Whimsical, 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.

LMAO, i need not say anything more, comedy should be like this today pure light hearted and innocent comedy. I don't think 10 minutes of the movie went by without me bursting out into laughter. STUPENDOUSLY ACTED. and a must see for anyone who enjoys a good laugh.

Very entertaining adaptation of the famed book, and it is a perfect vehicle for Danny Kaye. He is terrific in the title role. Great fun, and it's filled with delightfully imaginative scenes.

Set aside that this movie was filmed before time began. The adventures of Walter Mitty are just plain fun. You will find yourself laughing at the awkward situations that Walter finds himself in. The underdog does sometimes win the girl. An inspiration for many movies.
