...quite an ode to romanticism, Travels With My Aunt is more an elegy to its passing. The romantic Cukor has turned capricious skeptic, and sentiment becomes a gambol. The loops of his freewheeling narrative dip eagerly into the past and circle back a bit crestfallen. And in between, cherished romance turns sappy to the taste and drippy to the nth degree. Cukor has dished out sentiment in order to bid it fond farewell...
...Sherri just can't forget Billy Duke ("I'm younger, stronger and tougher, and that's why you dig me," he says.) When he is hospitalized following a brawl at Los Angeles, she flies to his bedside, and from that point on, they are inseparable. They go for walks, gambol in the snow, kiss a little. All that.

A newspaper cartoon pinned above the fireplace says it all: two teen-age girls moon around a room waiting out a thunderstorm. "Do you think," asks one, "that it rains on Peter Fonda too?" No longer...
...surprising conclusion, considering the picture that Ethel presented while her husband was alive. In the giddy days of the New Frontier and after, she was known as the prankish clown of the clan, the exuberant athlete ready for any gambol, the nonstop, miniskirted supermom who exemplified all the headlong, slightly manic "vigah" of the Kennedys. Ethel was the hostess who presided gleefully when Arthur Schlesinger Jr. was pushed, fully clad, into the swimming pool at a Hickory Hill party. She was the mistress of a wacky ménage that included even more animals than children?Brumus, the huge Newfoundland...
