One of George Cukor's last (and least impressive) pictures, this version of Graham Greene's eccentric comedy is thematically similar to Auntie Mame but suffers from Maggie Smith's overly stylized turn and lack of rapport with Alec McCowen as her nephew.

Dampened by a hammy over-theatrical performance by Maggie Smith, too much useless gab and too many contrived plot turns.

Agressive whimsey eventually wears out its welcome.

A golden stream of light and joy when Aunt Augusta came into my life! Smith is perfect giving a nuanced performances that could go over the top at any moment were she any less of a force of nature.
