This is a delightful version of the Jules Verne tale.
Images are extraordinarily sharp and depth of focus is striking in many scenes.
David Niven, as Fogg, is the perfect stereotype of the unruffled English gentleman and quite intentionally, a caricature of 19th century British propriety. There's rarely been a picture that can boast of so many star names in bit parts. There are many others, including Frank Sinatra in a flash shot as a piano player. Jose Greco, early in the footage, wows with a heel fandango. Pic's sound is extraordinarily vivid and effective and a major asset.
