R NOEL COWARD and Sir John Gielgud appeared as "bit" players in a 4,000,000-dollar film of "Round the World in 80 Days."

Their scene at Elstree studios was watched by Clifton Webb, Paul Douglas, Peter Ustinov, S. J. Perelman, the American humorist who is writing the script; and the producer of the film (the man with the four million dollars) -Michael Todd.

Noel Coward promised Todd he would act as a bit player when he saw "Oklahoma," which Todd has made in a new and enormous wide screen style. Todd, an active le man in a black shirt and grey trousers, then persuaded Sir John Glelgud to net in the scene with Coward.
