What critics compared Around the World in 80 Days to
With the exception of Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," movies have handed us a range of silly permutations on "A Trip to the Moon," "Around the World in Eighty Days," "Mysterious Island," etc., and almost a dozen variations on "Journey to the Center of the Earth," the most-famous previous film version starring Pat Boone, acting and singing.
The only other two actors of note in the film are Shirley MacLaine in one of her first screen roles as the Indian Princess Aouda, who comes to melt Fogg's icy exterior; and Robert Newton, better known to American audiences as Long John Silver in "Treasure Island," as Police Inspector Fix.
