Best of the movies is this miniseries
I watched the Oscar winning 1956 film as but I don't want to see the Jackie Chan version because Chan's movies are karate and actio. The 1956 film which coined the term "cameo" is good but seems out of date and not up to color these days. But if you really want the best ATWI80D that sticks close to the book and close to the characters about, get the 1989 miniseries that aired on NBC with a pre-Bond Pierce Brosnan and the greatly wonderful late Peter Ustinov. Though there are some real-life characters like Jesse James, Louis Pasteur, and Sarah Bernhardt, this sticks close about 80% to the book. I am awaiting for the dvd to have bonus features because the dvd released on July 8 2003 doesn't have bonus features. Eric Idle is also suburb and played Passepartout as a frenchman. Great story and Fogg is with more emotion with Brosnan in the role. But with Niven, he just sounded cold as a fish as Fogg.
