In Around the World in 80 Days, David Niven stars as Phileas Fogg who bets his fellow club members that he can circle the globe in 80 days. That may not be impressive today, but in 1872 it was nearly impossible. Accompanied by his valet, Passepartout (Cantinflas in his only English language film), and the wandering Princess Aouda (ShirleyMacLaine), Fogg crosses Europe, India, Japan, the Pacific and the United States in a race against time and all the odds.
Around the World in 80 Days, first released in 1956, featured an all-star cast including Noel Coward, John Gielgud, Trevor Howard, Shirley MacLaine, Peter Lorre, Marlene Dietrich, Frank Sinatra, Buster Keaton, John Mills and a cast of thousands. Featuring so many big name stars, this film created the 'Cameo Role'.
Nominated for eight Academy Awards and winner of five including the most prestigious, Best Picture as well as Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Music and Best Adapted Screenplay, Around the World in 80 Days beat strong competition from The King and I, The Ten Commandments and Giant for Best Picture. The film used 140 sets built at six Hollywood studios, as well as in England, Hong Kong and Japan. 74,685 costumes were used in the film, the cast and crew flew over 4,000,000 miles and 68,894 extras were used while shooting the film in 13 countries. 90 animal handlers managed the record 8,552 animals used (3,800 sheep, 2,448 buffalo, 950 donkeys, 800 horses, 512 monkeys, 17 bulls, 15 elephants, 6 skunks, and 4 ostriches). An epic film in every possible way. |
