Tim M Worthy of our most fanciful daydreams, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty gets plenty of pep in its step thanks to a reliably physical comedic performance from Danny Kaye. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Jarrod R 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. It's so severe that he actually is served up milk toast to attempt to keep him calm. 
Danny Kaye is perfect for this role and he's able to showcase his multiple characters as well as his 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, who follows Walter Mitty around through the daydreams without missing a beat. 
All in all, this one holds up nicely, and would be a nice addition to anyone's wish list. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review joel h If you're already a fan of Danny Kaye, you'll enjoy The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. This movie is basically a playground for the actor, allowing him to showcase all sorts of characters and talents during the various fantasy sequences. If you're not a fan of Danny Kaye, you might find the goofier parts a little off-putting, as comedy has changed a bit since the 1940s. Nevertheless, this is a light-hearted, likable movie, though it does deal with some darker plotlines, which I didn't expect. Still, I found myself smiling as I watched it, and it was amusing to see Boris Karloff in a comedic film. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review robert p It's a good movie but a little rediculous that Danny Kaye is such a good dancer and singer but he carries a bit to long in this movie which is why I give this film a *3 & 1/2* star review! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dustin d The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a charming and imaginative film with an original premise. The fantasy sequences sort of throw off the pace of the film, but they also showcase Danny Kaye's range and comedic abilities nicely. Also great performance from Boris Karloff. One of the interesting aspects for me was to see a 1940s film in color that wasn't a cartoon or historical film. It was neat to see what the 1940s looked like.
