Review of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

A laugh riot! Thrills and chills!
Twists and turns on every page!
Such is life for Walter Mitty, a man working for a pulp fiction magazine and moving through life hopping from daydream to daydream. In his "real" life, his anxious and nebbish demeanor is so severe that he actually is served up milk toast to attempt to keep him calm.
Danny Kaye is perfect for this role and is able to showcase his multiple characters as well as delightful musical numbers and physical comedy. Speaking of, his timing is impeccable and puts him in the upper echelons of comedy stars.
I was also impressed by Virginia Mayo, who plays Rosalind van Hoorn, and follows Walter around through his elaborate daydreams without missing a beat.
All in all, this golden age gem holds up nicely, and would be a nice addition to anyone's wish list.
