    • Trivia
      This movie created the idea of "cameo roles" as a way to invite established stars to participate in a production.
    • Goofs
      In San Francisco the prostitutes jump off a wagon full of beer barrels marked 'Pabst Blue Ribbon.' It was called Select until 1882. Due to their practice of tying a blue ribbon around the neck, it was frequently asked for as 'that blue ribbon beer.'
    • Quotes

      Princess Aouda: Have there been any women in his life?

      Passepartout: I assume he had a mother, but I am not certain.

    • Crazy credits
      The last line of dialogue is "This is the end". The closing credits then begin with the words WHO WAS SEEN IN WHAT SCENE ... AND WHO DID WHAT. The story is then recapped in 6 minutes of simple, minimally animated cartoon images, allowing the names of the many cast members who each appeared in just one scene to be shown in relation to that scene, often adjacent to a cartoon image of their character. The cast is therein listed in order of appearance. The character names don't appear. Some of the crew credits (WHO DID WHAT) are interspersed with the cast credits, with the remainder at the end. The very last thing shown is the film's title.
    • Alternate versions
      When Warner Bros. bought the rights to this film from Elizabeth Taylor (to whom United Artists lost control of the film in the 1970s) for its later re-releases, some prints were heavily edited. An uncut print of the 35mm version has been shown on cable TV.

    Delightful and Wonderful!
    This has got to be one of the most delight comedies ever made. I totally agree with one comment that says "Around the World in 80 Days like a fine wine, it gets better with age". Featuring fine performances from David Nivven, Cantinflas, and the rest of the cast in this wonderful movie about a man and his servant who try and travel around the world in just eighty days. This movie oddly enough was 175 minutes long and in all honestly I didn't believe that for second when I first heard because it really only seemed like 88 minutes. One of the most fun, wittiest, and delightful films of all time and that's coming from a person who adores film and has seen plenty in his (my) day. I do not recall the last time I had so much fun while watching a movie, it's basically just one big fun fest! The cinematography and photography are unarguably some of the best ever in any film. How anyone could call this film boring is beyond me. It is fun, witty, delightfully written, directed, and as I already mentioned acted. The score is also a work of genius. See this film, then see it again. If you hate it, well, then you need to lighten up a bit (no offense intended).

    Final Grade: ***** (out of 5)
