Just a thought... but hoping Paramount also makes a digital 4K edition available the way they have with To Catch A Thief , War of the Worlds and King Creole.

Glad this VistaVision classic is getting a proper blu ray release. Now if we could have the same treatment for LIL' ABNER.
The Criterion Channel (and later Amazon prime) had the new restoration and it looks jaw-droppingly beautiful.
Really happy to be finally retiring so many Paramount DVDs lately.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a Goldwyn film, which places it with Warner. I don’t much about its availability aside from the fact that it’s not on Blu-ray.
With MGM gone, the vintage Bob Hope/Danny Kaye Sam Goldwyns were bought up by the Weinstein's at one point, IIRC?
And with Miramax gone, they're currently available as streaming orphans on Amazon Prime, for those who want to rent, Walter Mitty included.
Criterion Channel had a spotlight on Kaye's films that consisted mainly of his Goldwyn features plus this, but I found Wonder Man, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and A Song is Born to be incredibly fun.
Wonderful news! Whenever I’m feeling down I put on “the pellet with the poison...”. Whoever thought up that was a genius. Good song score too, especially “The Maladjusted Jester”.
Glynis Johns is also terrific as is Basil Rathbone, perfect in his Sheriff of Nottingham-type role.
Truly, you Jest.I'll raise my hand and say I've never seen it! Looking forward to picking this up and fixing that!
I first saw the new restoration on The Criterion Channel and you are correct: it is jaw-droppingly beautiful!
I'm looking forward to seeing this!
"uh, the TERMS, the TERMS..."
