The secret life of Walter Mitty : [screenplay], 1946 March 15.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/69937331

The collection consists of a working screenplay for the movie The Secret life of Walter Mitty, filmed in 1946 and released in 1947, about a mild man driven to daydream by a dull life and domineering mother, based on a short story by James Thurber. The cover is stamped March 15, 1946, but the typescript includes numerous color-coded replacement pages from various dates during the shooting; also stamped "171" on cover. Many revised pages include the screenwriters' initials, KE-EF, Ken Englund and Everett Freeman. The movie starred Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo and has been very popular, although Thurber tried to prevent it from being made and was not pleased with the result.
