その２ サイゴンは６４にして掃除大好き人間にする
今朝は昼過ぎまで結構なFOGGY
Foggといえば小生はすぐに８０日間世界一周の主人公フォッグ氏を思い出す。
映画はローマの休日同じくらい見たし
本も何十回も！！
それがきっかけでジュール・ベルヌの世界にはまってしまったもの！！
おそらくわが孫どもが思春期を迎える頃でも
この作品の価値は変わらないし
本も映画もアニメも利用できることでしょう。
孫達がわがブログに触れること期待しています。
そしてその頃は天国から諸君を眺めていることでしょうが！！
小生より一回り上のシャーリー・マクレーンにはまったのもこの作品からです。
彼女の本は全部購入；原本も翻訳本も何度読んだことか！！
我がもう一つのブログに映画の予告編とナットキングコールの歌が載せてあります。

懐かしくてwikipediaからAround the world in eighty days!!
Around the World in Eighty Days is a 1956 adventure film made by the Michael Todd Company and
released by United Artists. It was directed by Michael Anderson and John Farrow (uncredited) and
produced by Michael Todd with Kevin McClory and William Cameron Menzies as associate producers.
The screenplay was by James Poe, John Farrow and S. J. Perelman based on the classic novel of the
same name by Jules Verne. The music score was by Victor Young and the cinematography by Lionel Lindon.
Around the World in 80 Days, based on Jules Verne's 1870 novel, opens with an extended documentary-style
sequence on the prescience of the Ur science-fiction writer: He accurately foresaw the advent of rocketry,
air travel, and many other technologies wondrous at his time but commonplace to this film's original audience.
And yet, as the nerdy little narrator of this history lesson reminds us, the world has become much smaller
thanks to methods of travel and communication speedier than those at Verne's disposal. Ironically, it's
because the world has shrunk even more in the subsequent forty-something years that Around the World
in 80 Days is less charming today than it must have been in 1956.

Synopsis
The story starts in London on October 2, 1872. Phileas Fogg is a wealthy, solitary, unmarried gentleman
with regular habits. The source of his wealth unknown and he lives modestly. He fires his former valet,
James Forster, for bringing him shaving water two degrees too cold. He hires as a replacement Passepartout,
a Frenchman of around 30 years of age. Later that day in the Reform Club, he gets involved in an argument
over an article in The Daily Telegraph, stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India,
it is now possible to travel around the world in 80 days.

Plot
Around 1872, an English gentleman Phileas Fogg (David Niven) claims he can circumnavigate the world
in eighty days. He makes a ￡20,000 wager with several skeptical fellow members of his London
gentlemen's club, the Reform Club, that he can arrive back within 80 days before exactly 8.45 pm.
Together with his resourceful valet, Passepartout (Mario "Cantinflas" Moreno), Fogg sets out on his
journey from Paris via a hot-air balloon. Meanwhile, suspicion grows that Fogg has stolen his ￡20,000
from the Bank of England. Police Inspector Fix (Robert Newton) is sent out by the bank president
(Robert Morley) to trail and arrest Fogg. Hopscotching around the globe, Fogg pauses in Spain,
where Passepartout engages in a comic bullfight.
In India, Fogg and Passepartout rescue young widow Princess Aouda (Shirley MacLaine) from being forced
into a funeral pyre so that she may join her late husband. The threesome visit Hong Kong, Japan,
San Francisco, and the Wild West. Only hours short of winning his wager, Fogg is arrested upon returning
to London by the diligent, yet if misguided Inspector Fix. At the jail, the humilated Inspector Fix informs
Fogg that the real culprit was caught in Brighton. Though eventually exonerated of the charges,
he has lost everything ? except the love of the winsome Aouda. But salvation is at hand when Passepartout
realizes the next morning that, by crossing the International Date Line, they have gained a day.
There is still time to reach the Reform Club and win the bet. To the surprise of all waiting at the club,
Fogg arrives just before the clock's chime at 8.45 pm.
