Around the World in Eighty Days (1956)

No Quote for this film.

This is the second Todd-AO production (the first was Oklahoma!) shot twice, at 24 fps (to produce the general-release version in 35 mm) and at 30 fps (to produce the roadshow version in 70 mm). Both versions were shot on 65 mm negative with Todd-AO lenses. Sometimes two cameras operated side-by-side filming the same take, other times the same camera was used with the speed changed for the second take, and still other times, in non-dialogue scenes, the same shot was used. The 35 mm version is presented in conventional 2:1 squeeze anamorphic process (incorrectly credited to Todd-AO); the 70 mm version is presented in Todd-AO.
According to David Niven's agent, producer Michael Todd originally wanted Cary Grant for the role of Phileas Fogg, but had given up after trying for 6 months.
According to Farley Granger in his autobiography "Include Me Out," Mike Todd, while shooting on location in Venice, filmed him as a gondolier on the Grand Canal, a cameo that was never used in the film.
