My World And Welcome To It

Storyline

Based on the 1939 James Thurber short story entitled, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." The most famous of Thurber's stories, it first appeared in The New Yorker on March 18, 1939, and was first collected in his book My World and Welcome to It (Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1942). The episodes were basic family situations with the father having a remarkably wild imagination, which was acted out on the screen as if it were true reality. The family seemed unaware of his thoughts and awake dreams, but his wife always suspected something was up.
