Review

USA Today, 05/21/2004, p.6E, "Producer Michael Todd gambled his way to the best-picture Oscar and four more with the star-studded movie of Jules Verne's balloon-less novel."

Entertainment Weekly, 05/28/2004, p.108, "[T]he Oscar-winning epic's colors really pop, and the performances remain vivid too."

Title Note

American director Orson Welles was considering the possibility of directing the picture but, because of previous engagements, ended up doing a stage production of the story. In 1986 it was made into a TV mini-series.

The beginning of the film features a prologue by Edward R. Murrow, the esteemed television journalist. It also includes the first film ever to be based on a Jules Verne novel, Melies's A TRIP TO THE MOON from 1902. Georges Melies was one of the earliest French filmmakers whose films still exist, and his film of the Verne novel was about 3 minutes long.

Shot in Todd-AO, and Eastmancolor.

Winner of 67 international best picture honors.

Although the film won the Golden Globe award for Best Motion Picture--Drama, Cantinflas received the Golden Globe for Best Actor--Musical/Comedy.

The Jules Verne story, 100 locations, 40 cameo appearances by Hollywood players, a Victor Young score, and S.J. Perelman among the writers guarantee delightful family fare. The beginning of the film features a prologue by Edward R. Murrow, the esteemed television journalist, and it includes the first film to be based on a Jules Verne novel, Georges Melies's A TRIP TO THE MOON from 1902.
