Around the World in 80 YAYS! - Around the World in 80 Days review by AM

Spoiler Alert

I loved this so much. Perfect Sunday afternoon film, wonderful locations, some fabulous cameos from big stars of the age (Sinatra, Dietrich, Coward & Gielgud!), but the shining star being the Mexican Charlie Chaplin that is Cantinflas - playing Passepartout. Can't but smile when he's on screen, playing the merry japes. All framed by Niven as the unflappable English gentleman, Fogg.

Just a wonderful film. Very highest of Bananas!!!
