I first saw Around the World in 80 Days at the Carthay Circle Theater in Los Angeles in May of 1958.

The scene in which a woman is about to be burned alive in a Hindu “suttee” ritual will undoubtedly offend today’s “multiculturalism” and “diversity” enthusiasts, who will decry the protagonists for imposing their Western Christian values by rescuing the woman.
