Around the World in Eighty Days was, no doubt, a spectacle to behold on the big screen in it's full 70mm glory. The cinematography, music, costumes, locations...everything is cultured to a perfect sheen. Then there's the cast, which includes a harvest of uncredited cameos, which also serves to enhance the six million dollar adaptation of Jules Verne's literary classic. Unfortunately, the wonderment that once enthralled movie audiences has dulled with the passage of time and technology. If you're not watching on a big screen, it all looks like just another product of a bygone era, losing all of the scope and magnitude in the translation. As for time considerations, you'll need to block out 3+ hours to view the film, which seems unnecessary when you strip away the event gimmickry, with entirely too much of the story coasting along at a decidedly non-pithy pace. And let's be honest, at least half the film is actually a late 19th century travelogue, even though most of it was indeed shot in Hollywood.

As an interesting sidenote, the film was shot in just under eighty days. I have to wonder if maybe producer Michael Todd wagered money on the duration of principal photography...

If you like the oldschool, grand scale adventure epics, this is the one that swept up 5 Academy Awards for 1956, including Best Picture.
