Storyline
Phileas Fogg accepts a challenge from his fellow members at the Reform Club and sets of prove that you can travel around the world in a mind-boggling 80 days. He sets off by train to Paris with his new valet Passepartout but then is forced to continue the trip by balloon arriving next in Spain where Passepartout has an interesting encounter in the bullfighting ring. They finally make their way across the Mediterranean and through the Suez canal, arriving in Bombay two days ahead of schedule. They board the train for Calcutta where they find there is a 50 mile gap midway. The break in their journey proved eventful as they rescue an Indian princess, Aouda, who is about to be forced to commit suttee - throwing herself on her dead husband's funeral pyre. They make to Calcutta and on to Siam and the Honk Kong. Throughout the voyage, they are followed by a detective, Mr. Fix, who is convinced that Fogg is the thief responsible for the recent £55,000 theft at the bank of England... Written by garykmcd

Phileas Fogg: But the London newspapers announced the opening of this railway throughout.
Railway Official: That must have been The Daily Telegraph. Never would have read that in The Times.

Trivia
The bullfighting sequence was added because Cantinflas had bullfighting experience. He actually was in the ring with the bull, eschewing the use of a stunt double. This was one of the first sequences to be shot. See more »Goofs
Anachronisms: At the beginning of the film we are told that it is 1872 and shortly afterwards we see the Welsh Guards on parade (you can tell by the layout of their buttons - two rows of five). The Welsh Guards are the most junior of the Guards Regiments and weren't formed until 26 February 1915. See more »Quotes
