Around the World in 80 Days


This is a place to discuss Robert Newton's final film performance as Detective Inspector Fix in 1956's Oscar-winning Around the World in 80 Days (directed by Mike Todd and based on the novel by Jules Verne), along with other aspects of the film, comparisons to the book, etc.
