The most priceless part of this movie is when Maggie Smith's character opens the small box with the severed finger and lets out most hilarious scream I have ever heard. It use to be accessible on youtube but like many movies on youtube it was taken off.
Maggie is the only actor who could have ever played Augusta Bertram, it is as if Augusta leaps off the page. I have loved the novel Travels with my Aunt since I first read it aged 12 and have remained a Henry Graham Greene fan for 30 years. My ony qualm with this film, is it isn't Graham's novel, an entire half of the novel is missing. This is Katherine Hepburn's romantic adaptation, Ercole Visconti never set up Augusta they lived together in Havana. Even though it is inaccurate it is still a very beautiful film touchingly enacted by all performers especially by Maggie and Alec.
Aslamo Alikum, peace and blessings of God be upon all of you. We are all brothers and sisters and children of one man Adam and one woman Eve. The beautiful girls and guys in videos are nothing but our beloved sisters and brothers. May God forgive them and all our brothers and sisters around the world. May God unite all of us in His love and mercy and in His obedience. If we will be thankful to God and obey Him, this world will become a paradise. And on Day of Judgment, God will give us even a bigger paradise so beautiful and lovely that we cannot imagine where all of us will live in joy and pleasure forever. Please never forget to say many thanks to God and praise Him all your days and nights and ask for His forgiveness all the time. Ameen. Jazak Allah. :)
