Scandal Sheet by Phil Karlson
Great newspaper story as reporter Derek, who is very good in this role, turns detective to track down the Lonely Hearts Killer, with the assistance of lovely Donna Reed, and under the more than watchful eye of editor Broderick Crawford--who has good reason to be watchful. No one did this type of film better than Karlson.

Victorian aristocrat Phileas Fogg (Pierce Brosnan) bets his entire fortune he can circle the world in record time. With Eric Idle, Peter Ustinov, Julia Nickson. Based on Jules Verne's novel.
Phlegmatic, punctual Englishman Phileas Fogg believes in progress, science, and intellectual deduction. When a member of the Reform Club challenges him on the impossibility of completing a round-the-world tour in eighty days, he wagers his entire fortune to prove that he can do it. He is accompanied by his valet Passepartout, and followed by Mr. Fix, a detective who believes he is a notorious bank robber.
A southern family deals with their relationship issues.
It seems unnatural and forced that any of the crucial confrontations happen at all. It's like everyone has appointed themselves to be every else's therapist. Otherwise, it does pretty well. Southern Melodrama has zero draw for me, but this held my interest.
