Walter Mitty (Danny Kaye), a daydreaming writer with an overprotective mother, likes to imagine that he is a hero who experiences fantastic adventures. His dream becomes true when he accidentally meets a mysterious woman (Virginia Mayo) who hands him a little black book. According to her, it contains the locations of the Dutch crown jewels hidden since World War II. Soon, Mitty finds himself in the middle of a confusing conspiracy and has to admit that being a hero in real life isn't that easy. (official distributor synopsis)

The old Walter Mitty, that is the original one, is very different from the new version by Stiller. The fact that they are completely different films makes them different experiences. This one is more of a comedy, which has a thrilling plot only in the second half. It will definitely get you, you will have fun, laugh, but there aren't as many strong emotions here as in the case of the newer film.
