Around The World In 80 Days
(UA, 1956)
Michael Todd's giant travelogue comedy, based on the Jules Verne novel, starring the incomparable David Niven, Chaplinesque latin comic actor Cantinflas, a barely post-teenage Shirley MacLaine in her third film, and cameos by practically every star in Hollywood. A tremendous critical and financial success, epic in scope and running length, universal in appeal, and recipient of five Oscars, including Best Picture.
