Adaptation Expansion | |

Adaptation Expansion: As was probably inevitable when trying to make a two-hour film out of a story a few pages long about a man going shopping. | |

Heart in the Wrong Place | |
| The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947) / int_3d2249c5 | comment |
Heart in the Wrong Place: Obliquely referenced in which one of Walter's magazine stories features a vampire that got staked early in the serial, but returns because the villagers pierced his left lung, not his heart. | |

Artistic License – Military | |
| The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947) / int_6eb4e408 | comment |
Artistic License – Military: In one of the fantasy sequences, set on a British airbase, Mitty addresses a Royal Air Force officer as "Colonel"; there is no such rank in the RAF, where the equivalent rank is "Group Captain". Incidentally, the officer is wearing the rank insignia of an Air Vice-Marshall, equivalent to a Lieutenant-General in the Army, while Mitty, supposedly a Squadron-Leader, equivalent to an Army Captain, is dressed as a Group Captain. Possibly justified in that as an American Walter might not be familiar with RAF ranks and his imagination assumes that they are the same as those in the USAF. | |

Catchphrase | |
| The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947) / int_e6b5d22f | comment |
Catchphrase: The onomatopoeic "ta-pocketa," which threads its way through many of Mitty's daydreams (e.g. as the sound of a machine in an operating theater). | |
