Around the World in 80 Days (sometimes spelled as Around the World in Eighty Days) is a 1956adventure film produced by the Michael Todd Company and released by United Artists. It was directed byMichael Anderson. It was produced by Michael Todd, with Kevin McClory and William Cameron Menzies as associate producers. The screenplay was written by James Poe, John Farrow and S. J. Perelman based onthe classic novel of the same name by Jules Verne. The music score was composed by Victor Young, and the Todd-AO 70 mm cinematography was by Lionel Lindon. The film won multiple Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
The film's seven-minute-long animated title sequence, shown at the end of the film, was created by award-winning designer Saul Bass.
Bosley Crowther called the film a "sprawling conglomeration of refined English comedy, giant-screen travel panoramics and slam-bang Keystoneburlesque" and said Todd and the film's crew "commandeered the giant screen and stereophonic sound as though they were Olsen and Johnson(remember them?) turned loose in a cosmic cutting-room, with a pipe organ in one corner and all the movies ever made to toss around."
Time magazine called it "brassy, extravagant, long-winded and funny" and the "Polyphemus of productions," saying "as a travelogue, Around the World is at least as spectacular as anything Cinerama has slapped together." Time highlighted the performance of "the famous Mexican comic, Cantinflas [who in] his first U.S. movie...gives delightful evidence that he may well be, as Charles Chaplin once said he was, "the world's greatest clown."
