The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

[Razz]

I thought I posted on this movie but can't seam to find it.
Anyway, great little film here with some excellent cinematography, filmed well, wonderful music in it, and guaranteed to make you smile!
Just a good ole fun movie.
Very highly recommend this one as it never got lots of press.

I liked it a lot too.
I was unaware that it was a remake.

Wow... I didn't know that.
Never heard of the original.

"Puppy biscuit! That man said "Puppy biscuit"!'

I haven't seen either flick, but I remember reading the short story in high school English. I hope that line was included.

The original had Walter Matthau in it if my memory is correct. I have never seen either one though. I will have to try and watch this one.

We enjoyed this one also. It has been quite awhile since we have seen. Didn't know it was a remake............

Whoa, apparently I was way off. It was Danny Kaye in the original.

I haven't seen the original but I do like Danny Kaye so if I happen to stumble on it I'll watch it. That said I don't recall ever seeing it on my channel guide.

Love this movie too, went in with low expectations and it really surprised me. I'm a big fan of Jose Gonzales music and there were a couple of his songs in the film.

I saw the original with Danny Kaye as a child. Although the Ben Stiller version was entertaining I still liked the Danny Kaye version better as it was more true to the novel and Danny Kaye just had a way with facial expressions.

Like Botch, I read the Thurber short story in high school. I loved it. Have not seen the movie.

So there's a novel and a short story on this subject?

 

[Towen7]

No ... its a short story. Mat's reference to a novel was incorrect.
