Product Description
A fabulous adventure which takes place in over 100 locations. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 04/05/2005 Starring: David Niven Shirley Maclaine Run time: 178 minutes Rating: Nr

This Mike Todd production was a star-studded, multi-million dollar extravaganza when first released in 1956. It remains enjoyable family fare, but time has somewhat dulled its shine. Still, it compares favorably to the overly long, TV mini-series starring Pierce Brosnan and Eric Idle. Elegant David Niven plays the neurotically punctual Phileas Fogg, a British gent who is spurned on by a wager to prove he can travel around the world in 80 days. He is accompanied by his valet, played with persnickety humor by Cantinflas. Nominated for several Academy Awards, this was written by John Farrow (Mia's dad) and S.J. Perelman, based on Jules Verne's 1873 classic. The fun part is the razzle-dazzle. Todd knew what he was doing with all those exotic locales and over 40 cameo appearances, including Charles Boyer, Ronald Colman, Marlene Dietrich, José Greco, Peter Lorre, Buster Keaton, Frank Sinatra, and Red Skelton. A very young Shirley MacLaine was painted and dyed to play a lively Indian Princess. --Rochelle O'Gorman

 Excellent condition November 13, 2008
J. Rumsey (West Haven, UT)
The video was delivered very quickly and is in excellent condition. The price was great also.
An outstanding masterpiece October 11, 2008
Dr. Joseph Kramer (Jerusalem, Israel)
I've seen this movie the first time over 40 years ago, and now - I saw it the second time. I was afraid the the old flavor will be gone.
I watched it with my kids and we were all excited by it - the same way I was excited when I was young.
This is a piece of art that will live forever.

Jennifer M. Reynolds (Sydney Australia)
A long but very entertaining movie which would appeal to older viewers remembering so many actors in unexpected bit parts - e.g. Bustor Keaton, Frank Sinatra. David Niven and Cantinflas are excellent and the cost of making this film in so many countries would have been enormous.

I remember when this movie originally came out. Always a fan of David Niven's, the movie was good...however, the Mexican comedian, Cantinflas, stole the scene...he was terrific. I enjoyed the movie and will watch it frequently.
Love this movie! May 24, 2008
Diane E. Tatum (Tullahoma, TN USA)
I teach the book and show this movie along with the Pierce Brosnan miniseries of the same name. This DVD version was not available when we began teaching the book. Our VHS copy was wearing out! I 1-clicked this on Monday during class when it was clear the tape was dying and had it in hand on Thursday to continue using the film on Friday! An absolute life-saver.
