La Vie secrète de Walter Mitty (1947)
Un jeune auteur, Walter Mitty, travaille comme correcteur dans une maison d'édition de pulp fictions (ouvrages à bon marché). Au cours de rêves éveillés, il s'imagine tour à tour grand chirurgien, pilote de la RAF, capitaine d'un vaisseau corsaire, terreur du Far West, etc. Dans chacune de ces scènes, il voit une superbe jeune fille blonde en danger. Jusqu'au jour où, malencontreusement, il se retrouve face à un vrai réseau d'espions à la poursuite de la jeune fille blonde, bien réelle. Personne ne le croit dans son entourage. Il lutte donc seul face à un psychanalyste trop doux pour être honnête et une bande de personnages dirigés par un professeur hollandais passionné de roses.
