What coulda - and shoulda - been dept.:

Make-up legend Jack Pierce got to transform actor Boris Karloff one final time as the Frankenstein monster for Danny Kaye film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947). Karloff had not played the monster since 1939's Son of Frankenstein. Pierce, Karloff, and the monster's make-up design were loaned by Universal Pictures to Mitty producer Samuel Goldwyn for use in a dream sequence in the film.

Unfortunately, the dream sequence was cut from the film. I haven't been able to find any definitive answer as to whether it was ever actually shot. All anyone seems to have are these make-up/costume test photos shown above.

“’To each his own.’ So goes another old phrase to which Mr. Woodrow Mulligan would heartily subscribe, for he has learned–definitely the hard way –that there’s much wisdom in a third old phrase, which goes as follows: ‘Stay in your own backyard.’ To which it might be added, ‘and, if possible, assist others to stay in theirs’“
