Plot
Broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow presents an onscreen prologue, featuring footage from A Trip to the Moon (1902) by Georges Méliès, explaining that it is based loosely on the book From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne.Also included is the launching of an unmanned rocket and footage of the earth receding.
Around 1872, an English gentleman Phileas Fogg (David Niven) claims he can circumnavigate the world in eighty days. He makes a £20,000 wager (around to £1.6 million today[6]) with four sceptical fellow members of the Reform Club (each contributing £5,000 to the bet), that he can arrive back within 80 days before exactly 8:45 pm.
Together with his resourceful valet, Passepartout (Cantinflas), Fogg goes hopscotching around the globe generously spending money to encourage others to help him get to his destinations faster so he can accommodate tight steamship schedules. They set out on the journey from Paris by hot air balloon upon learning the mountain train tunnel is blocked. The two accidentally end up in Spain, where Passepartout engages in a comic bullfight. Next, he goes to Brindisi. Meanwhile, suspicion grows that Fogg has stolen £55,000 (around £4.4 million today[6]) from the Bank of England so Police Inspector Fix (Robert Newton) is sent out by Scotland Yard to trail him (starting in Suez) and keeps waiting for a warrant to arrive so he can arrest Fogg in the British ports they visit. In India, Fogg and Passepartout rescue young widow Princess Aouda (Shirley MacLaine) from being forced into a funeral pyre with her late husband. The three visit Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, and the Wild West. After sailing across the Atlantic, and only hours short of winning his wager, Fogg is arrested upon arrival at Liverpool, by the diligent yet misguided Inspector Fix.
At the jail, the humiliated Fix informs Fogg that the real culprit was caught in Brighton. Though he is now exonerated of the charges, he has no time to get to London and has thus lost everything – except the love of the winsome Aouda. Salvation is at hand when, upon returning to London, Passepartout buys a newspaper and sees it is still Saturday. Fogg then realizes that by traveling east towards the rising sun and by crossing the International Date Line they have gained a day. There is still time to reach the Reform Club and win the bet. Fogg unexpectedly arrives at the club just before the clock's chime at 8:45 pm. Aouda and Passepartout then arrive, surprising everyone as no woman has entered the Reform Club before.

今日の映画は1956年公開の「八十日間世界一周」。SFの父として知られるジュール・ヴェルヌの同名の小説を原作としています。紳士的風貌のデヴィッド・ニーヴン、メキシコ出身のカンティンフラスが主演。
映画は、ジェーなリストのエドワード・R・マローによるプロローグから始まります。プロローグではジュール・ヴェルヌの小説をもとにした「月世界旅行」が流れます。
そこからストーリーに入り、英国の紳士フォグが80日間で世界一周をするという賭けをし執事のパスパルトゥーとともに世界中を旅をする話です。時代設定は1872年頃です。日本で言ったら明治初期です。
この映画には日本も出てきます。横浜の様子が出てきます。調べたところ本当に日本で撮影されているようです。さすがに大仏も出てきましたのでセットは作れません。

この映画の特徴としては多くのスター俳優たちが小さな役で出演しています。これをカメオ出演といいます。
見る側としてはどこにスターが登場しているのか探すという楽しみ方もあります。
どこに誰が出ているかは膨大なので次に回したいと思います。
