Customer Reviews of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Pure Entertainment For you Danny Kaye fans, well you know all about this anyway. For those looking for a good family movie, this is it. Perhaps not Kayes best work, but near the top. Great screen adaptation of Thurbers short story. Movie stands alone and is easily identified with by us "dreamers" out here. Do recommend a read of the original short story for a more complete understanding of where this character came from and how well Kaye protrays this mild mannered man and brings him to life.
Slightly faded
When I saw this in 1947 or '48 I thought it was more hilarious than anything I'd ever seen before. I thought the same of Up in Arms, Knock on Wood, The Court Jester, and all Kaye vehicles. I must have been more innocent in those far-off days, and, sadly, it is now not quite as good as I then thought it; in fact, memory had enhanced the classic scenes and the dream sequences had got even better over time, so that when I saw them again they were faintly disappointing. Still, anyone viewing the film for the first time should find it hugely enjoyable; and it is famous enough for the Walter Mitty Syndrome to have entered the language. The Thurber story is a greater work of art, and it is unsurprising that he disliked the way his wistful and ironic little invention had become distorted. The most memorable parts of the film were the "I'm taking her through: my arm is broken, but it's nothing", "Ach, Himmel, it is Valter der Mitty: I'm done for", Walter "Slim" Mitty --- the Mitty Kid --- "I wouldn't do that if I were you"; but none of them quite matched up to the way I remembered them. Too bad --- it's still a classic, and I won't be garnering too many votes in agreement.
Fearless Dreamer
Danny kaye was a gifted physical comedian and Walter Mitty is one of his best roles. He dreams because his life is not too exciting. I think lots of people can relate to this. Walter is brave when in his real life he is not. Then he meets Virginia Mayo (a beautiful blonde) who just happens to be his dream girl come alive. The story is universal and makes the viewer laugh 90% of the time. For all ages. Terrific!
