		In his travels with his Aunt, Pulling is at first repelled, then fascinated, then jealous of the life, and life lessons, offered by his aunt.
		Travels with My Aunt is light-reading and entertaining, but there is a lesson, in the form of a question: as a member of The Lucky Few, what kind of life are you leading?
		Shortly after he meets his eccentric aunt, who he has not seen since he was a young child, he ends up on whirlwind travels that are best left for the reader to discover for his or herself.

	indielondon.co.uk - theatre - Travels With My Aunt, Richmond Theatre, review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Based on a novel which he wrote 'for fun', it deals with the problems of a 'Candide'-like young banker, who is taken over by the eponymous Aunt at his mother's funeral and swept by her into a strange new world of intrigue and mystery.
		Even the player of the Aunt has to step outside his/her role (all the characters are played by males) and assume the role of her nephew from time to time.
		Perhaps the only criticism I might put forward is that he made the Aunt a little too old, making her lasciviousness and lust a little unbelievable (the book portrays her as a raunchy woman but not that old).

		Travels with My Aunt is well structured and tightly written, at least up till very near the end.
		Early on, Henry learns from his aunt that the mother he saw decently cremated was not in fact his biological mother.
		Aunt Augusta of course knows the truth of the matter, but Greene is not one to allow his characters to fritter away such secrets casually or too early in the game.

		TRAVELS WITH MY AUNT starts off as a lark but ends as a dream gone awry: As Henry smugly decrees that 'all's right with the world.' we know it is anything but.

	Travels with My Aunt
		Although the subject is old age and death – a suitable subject to tackle at the age of sixty-five – and though an excellent Swedish critic described the novel justly as "laughter in the shadows of the gallows," I experienced more of the laughter and little of the shadow in writing it.
		Every day when I sat down before the blank sheets of foolscap (for as symbol of my new freedom I had abandoned the single lined variety where the lines seemed to me now like the bars on a prison window) I had no idea what was going to happen to Henry or Augusta next.
		The name Visconti for Aunt Augusta’s lover was adapted from my favourite character in Marjorie Bowen’s The Viper of Milan which I had loved as a boy, and it gave me an innocent amusement when I heard Detective Sparrow describing him as a viper.

	The Rep College - Travels With My Aunt
		If you are familiar with the plot of Graham Greene's Travels with my Aunt, you will already know that Henry Pulling's Aunt Augusta turns out to be a bit of a girl.
		On the face of it, this story of unknown parentage, Rastafarian lovers, stolen art treasures, escaped war criminals, money laundering and dahlia-growing, that begins in a crematorium ant ends in a Paraguayan mansion, is a merry romp around the world and contains enough fun and frolic to keep its audience on its toes.
		Underneath lies the moral maze - to quote Aunt Augusta, one should "never suppose yours to be the better morality" - the conclusion being that the location of the moral high ground is built more on time, place and circumstance rather than a universal set of rules.

	Powell's Books - Travels with My Aunt by Graham Greene
		Described by Graham Greene as "the only book I have written just for the fun of it," Travels with My Aunt is the story of Henry Pulling, a retired and complacent bank manager, who meets his septuagenarian Aunt Augusta for the first time at what he supposes to be his mother's funeral.
		Through Aunt Augusta, one of Greene's greatest comic creations, Henry joins a shiftless, twilight society; mixes with hippies, war criminals, and CIA men; smokes pot; and breaks all currency regulations.
		Originally published in 1970, Travels with My Aunt gives us an intoxicating entertainment yet also confronts us with some of the most perplexing of human dilemmas.

		My theatrical wanderings for the past couple of months have taken me on an exploration of plays created without the hand of a playwright.
		Less successful was ACT's adaptation of Graham Greene's Travels With My Aunt, adapted and directed by Giles Havergal of the Citizens' Theatre of Glasgow.
		As for the creation of ACT's Travels With My Aunt, Havergal claims it was strictly a "scissors-and-paste job." Virtually every line in the play is from Greene's novel.

	Travels with My Aunt \| Best price for Video
		This problem was exacerbated by Smith's age (late thirties)--which in my opinion was a dreadfully ill-conceived mismatch to the elderly Aunt Augusta--and a script so replete with outright silliness that one can hardly believe it could be a Jay Presson Allen adaptation.
		There are little twists and turns that add to the piquant essence of the whole film, such as Henry's true parentage both maternal and paternal, and Augusta's own self-interpretation of her life and actions over the years.
		The final scene will bring tears of laughter to your eyes and you should be left with a good feeling because "Travels with my Aunt" is a feel good with a bit of a difference.

		At her sister's funeral, Aunt Augusta (Oscar winner Maggie Smith)-a spirited woman of indeterminate years-befriends her bereft nephew, Henry (Alec McCowen)-a stodgy middle-aged banker who's only passion is caring for his prize dahlias.

		Scripted by Jay Presson Allen and Hugh Wheeler from the best-selling novel by Graham Green, Travels with My Aunt is a "delightful, sophisticated fare" (Movies on TV and Videocassette).
