- Synopsis:
A Technicolor gem based on the James Thurber novel that stands as Danny Kaye's single most memorable film showcase. Walter Mitty, the bashful, hen-pecked protagonist played by Kaye, is a mild-mannered magazine editor who escapes from his dull, dreary reality in daydreams where he incarnates various swashbuckling heroes (including an RAF fighter ace, a brave sea captain, a riverboat gambler, 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 secret notebook. - Actors:
