Additional InformationDavid Niven is perfect as the imperturbable Victorian English gentleman Phileas Fogg who attempts to win a bet by circumnavigating the globe in just eighty days. The Jules Verne story on a truly cinematic and epic scale. Utilising 140 studio sets, 44 cameo appearances by Hollywood players, 8,552 animals, 68,894 extras, 74,685 costumes, a Victor Young score, and S.J. Perelman among the writers guarantee delightful family fare. The beginning of the film features a prologue by Edward R. Murrow, the esteemed television journalist, and features the first film to be based on a Jules Verne novel, Georges Melies's A TRIP TO THE MOON from 1902. A veritable pageant, with similar vim, humour and class acting as IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD, but with an esteemed production of period detail and exotic locations.<BR>Winner of five Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Music, Best Adapted Screenplay and beating THE KING & I and THE TEN COMMANDMENTS for the best picture award!

  • A Worthwhile Journey

    Around the World In Eighty days is definitely the best version of this story with David Niven in a role made for him. Along the way you'll meet many of the stars of yesteryear in cameo roles, including Frank Sinatra as a honkey-tonk piano player in a rundown wild west saloon. The film is a bit on the long side but it is seriously well worth watching with stunning photography along the way. Highly Recommended.
