Comment/Synopsis

Lavish adaptation of the Jules Verne novel including some beautiful shots of exotic places around the world as David Niven attempts to travel round the world to win a bet. There are some good scenes in the film, but overall the film is overlong and fails to utilise the talents of all the cast.
