Travels with My Aunt. George Cukor ’s “Travels with My Aunt” is a whimsical romantic fantasy that works; which is to say, if you are not a fan of whimsical romantic fantasy, it’s going to be too much for you.
Through Aunt Augusta, a veteran of Europe's hotel bedrooms, Henry joins a shiftless, twilight society: mixing with hippies, war criminals, CIA men; smoking pot, breaking all the currency regulations and eventually coming alive after a dull suburban life.
At his mother's funeral in London, stodgy banker Henry Pulling is surprised to be greeted by his aunt, Augusta Bertram, a flamboyant, redheaded septuagenarian. Henry is further shocked when Augusta informs him that the woman who reared him was not his biological mother, whom Augusta describes as a "naughty girl."
