Pack your bags, because this week on Flashback we're going transnational with 1956's Around the World in Eighty Days, the Best Picture-winning adaptation of Jules Verne's 1872 novel which took audience members around the world in a mere three hours. DPhil student at the University of Oxford Neil Suchak joins to tackle this globe-trotting epic that has as many historical layers as it does minutes. We discuss why peace activists don't make for good cinema (the answer may surprise you), the benefits of cameos, the British Empire, the 1950s view of American power in the nineteenth century, and more!
