"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" is a short story by James Thurber, first published in The New Yorker in 1939. It recounts a day in the life of a man who daydreams about heroic adventures as he goes about his mundane existence.The story has inspired two films, one in 1947 starring Danny Kaye and one in 2013 starring Ben Stiller. Neither bears much resemblance to the original story; in particular, both cinematic Mittys eventually stop daydreaming and start having real-life adventures.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Heroic Ambidexterity | |
| The Secret Life of Walter Mitty / int_33d76f78 | comment |
Heroic Ambidexterity: Invoked. In one of Mitty's daydreams about being a grandiose and heroic person, he finds himself as the defendant in a murder trial. His defender argues that Mitty could not have shot the victim because his right arm was injured. Mitty cuts him short by boasting that he "could have killed Gregory Fitzhurst at three hundred feet with [his] left hand." | |

Disability Alibi: Subverted in one of Mitty's daydreams, about being a grandiose and heroic person, he finds himself as the defendant in a murder trial. His defense lawyer argues that Mitty could not have shot the victim because his right arm was injured. Mitty cuts him short by boasting that he "could have killed Gregory Fitzhurst at three hundred feet with [his] left hand." | |
