 The 1956 Version February 14, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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!
 MIX UP July 4, 2006

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!!!

Around the World in 80 Days Review June 21, 2004
17 out of 39 found this review helpful
Finally, one of the most visually stunning versions of Around the World in 80 Days is available. Originally shown in 1989, this new 2 disk dvd has breeched the gap between the 1950's version, and the new 2004 version of Around the World in 80 Days. The film has a star studded cast including Pierce Brosnan (James Bond), Eric Idle (Monty Python) and Peter Usinov (Death on the Nile). Filmed in some of the most exotic places in the world, this film travels through all of the famous countries and locations, and has a great collection of characters, portrayed by some of the greatest actors. This film is a definite buy for any Dvd collection.
