Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet Victory!
Review: It's about time they put this on DVD. It's one of the best Danny Kaye movies ever! I definitely recommend it to both Danny newcomers and old viewers. This ones for keeps!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of Danny Kaye's Best!
Review: James Thurber apparently didn't like film version of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, but I do, so there! Granted, not much of Thurber's brilliant story made it onscreen (hey, let's see YOU try to adapt a ten page short story into a feature film), but the end result is a superb showcase for Kaye's seemingly infinite talents. Boris Karloff is also excellent as an evil psychiatrist in a performance that allows him to display his rarely seen comic abilities.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful Dreamer
Review: Like Steven Foster's folk song, which Virginia Mayo tinkles on the piano, this film is simple but perfect, i.e. simply perfect.
It's laughable and lovable, thrilling and romantic. Danny and Virginia are a dream team, this one being their best collaboration. This movie has been a life's companion to me, since I saw it at the age of four or five.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a classic
Review: My grandfather adored this movie when it was released. So did my father a few years later. So do I now. This movie has a grace and an irny that is hard to find nowadays. The development of the daydreamer character Walter Mitty is hilarious! A great achievement by a great actor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VERY FUNNY!
Review: People say I look like Danny Kaye. Someone told me to see "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty". So I did. And I loved it! It was so funny it made me cry! I love Queenie! She was hilarious! I especially like the ending! I suggest you buy it! It is SOOOOO funny!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Full array of talents
Review: Probably one of Danny kayes best known movies, and never seems to lose it's charm. A very thin story line is beautifully padded by the multiple personalities played out in the daydreams of our erstwhile anti-hero. A wonderful cameo from Boris Karloff adds to the comic excitement of a fast paced story, and Kaye delivers brilliantly with impeccable timing during each sub plot. Almost a multiple picture in picture movie, the ending really holds no suprises, but gently jogs the viewer along, without some of the kitch so prevalent in other movies of the era. Danny Kaye really was a comic genius, and in some ways the picture reflects his own life which was widely believed to be that of a painfully shy and reserved man. A great family film, my daughters aged 12 and 14 actually stayed glued to the film throughout, proving that "old fashioned" homely family films can stand the test of time with contemporary audiences. A worthy addition to any collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It doesn't get better than this!
Review: Ta-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa. . . the funniest movie made between the Marx Brothers and Monty Python. You have to see "Walter Mitty" -- so you'll know what Woody Allen was trying to do.

If you have not yet seen "Walter Mitty" then I envy you!

Summary: Pure Enchantment
Review: The first time I saw this movie, I was simply enchanted. If you're looking for humor, adventure, and romance, this is the movie to pick up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow! That was sooooo good!
Review: The Secret Life Of Wlter Mitty is a great movie, of how he fantasizes things that turn out to be real. You can never tell when it is real or if he is imagining something. If you want a comedy that will let you laugh for hours...This is the movie for you.
