Synopsis
Jules Verne's classic adventure, this time recorded for television, stars Pierce Brosnan as Phileas Fogg who places a bet that he can circumnavigate the globe within 80 days. His sidekick Passepartout is played by Eric Idle, and they are pursued by a detective (Peter Ustinov) to check they are abiding by the rules. Epic adventures on land, sea and air.

2.0 out of 5 stars The 1956 Version, 14 Feb 2008
By Linda Walsh (Norfolk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Around The World In Eighty Days [1956] [DVD] (DVD)
I first saw this at the cinema in the '60s as a young teenager, and thought it was fabulous, so added it to my Amazon rental list. How disappointing! I now find it slow, if not positively turbid. It now seems to be merely a travelogue with bits of dialogue inserted between shots of sunsets, palaces, mountains etc, together with overlong traditional song and dance scenes. In the sixties, of course, most of us didn't have colour televisions and hadn't been abroad, so these things were exciting. Today, they're tedious. The only really enjoyable aspect of this film is spotting the guest stars (doesn't John Gielguid look young!) Unfortunately, this particular version is on two discs, but you only get the first with Amazon rental. You MUST tick the bonus disc as well when you order, as the first disc finishes at the "Intermission", so I didn't get to spot Frank Sinatra, et al.

Perhaps another time I'll remember that memories can lie!

1.0 out of 5 stars MIX UP, 4 Jul 2006
By A. Martin (Lyon France) - See all my reviews
Amazon has mixed up two versions of Around the World in 80 Days - the Pierce Brosnan from 1988 and the David Niven from 1956 - I think. If you specifically want one or the other, BE CAREFUL!!!
