Walter Mitty, a daydreaming writer with an overprotective mother, likes to imagine that he is a hero who experiences fantastic adventures. His dream becomes reality when he accidentally meets a mysterious woman 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, where he has difficulty differentiating between fact and fiction.

Why didn't y'all tell me about Danny Kaye sooner? Why am I now just finding this gem of a man... Smh..Here I go down the Danny Kaye rabbit hole...
Also ... Ben Stiller really saw this and made a empty hollow shell of a film using a few key elements of the story and called it a remake... Shame..
