This original version of the film was made in colour and Kaye is the henpecked unmarried son of a bossy mother who works for an idea stealing boss in a publishing firm where he works as a proof-reader and editor. The first film version starred Danny Kaye (1911-87 AIDS and hepatitis from tainted blood supplied during a heart bypass) and he is a comedian whose antics have dated for all except the most devoted of fans. He is probably most famous for his 4000-word short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty which has been made into a movie on two occasions (19) as it tells of a fellow by the name of Walter Mitty who escapes the mundane everyday life of his marriage by imaging the most outlandish adventures.
