Colorful Bombay (1937)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
James A. FitzPatrick's TravelTalks series travel to India where we get to see both the rich side of Bombay as well as the poor side. We learn that many ten-year-old girls are married off for religious reasons and that in the past many of them would jump into a fire after their husband's death as it was thought they couldn't live without the other. We also see some rather strange fish for sale, how a house is built and how the men and women must share all duties. This is yet another interesting entry in the long-running MGM series. If you've seen one then you should know what to expect. Once again the Technicolor really brings the locations to life and FitzPatrick offers up some nice narration for us.
