The film is about a young man called Walter who is played by Danny Kaye the movie starts In New York. The clumsy Walter Mitty who is the publisher of pulp fiction at the Pierce Publishing house owned by Bruce Pierce. He lives with his overbearing mother and neither his fiancée Gertrude Griswold and her mother nor his best friend Tubby Wadsworth respects him. Walter is an escapist and daydreams into a world of fantasy many times along the day. which sometimes gets him in to a lot of trouble. When Walter is commuting, he stumbles in the train with the gorgeous Rosalind van Hoorn who uses Walter to escape from her pursuer. Walter unintentionally gets involved with a dangerous ring of spies that are seeking a black book with notes about a hidden treasure. At the end of the movie Walter sticks up for him self after he tells everyone even his own mother to shut up and then we see him with his new wife called Rosalind Mitty who he marries instead of Gertrude Griswold who is in love with Tubby Wadsworth. I give this movie a five star review because it really made me and my mum laugh so much and Danny Kaye is my favourite actor I really love his film my two favourite films his in is white Christmas and the Court Jester These are my mums favourite film with him in it as well thank you for reading my review by Rebecca Thomas age 18 and a half
