We will watch Ben Stiller's 2013 film of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with a view to comparing it to Thurber original 1939 story. I would like the 3rd year students who have to attend a meeting on their internships to watch this film at home with a view to discussing the difference between the two version at next Monday's class.
