Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Real-life Mr. and Mrs. John McCallum and Googie Withers star in Travellers Joy. McCallum and Withers are cast as Reggie and Bumble Pelham, a divorced couple living hand-to-mouth in Stockholm. Before they can leave for their native England, Reggie and Bumble must first pay their hotel bill. To raise the necessary funds, they must pretend that they're still married. One suspects that the stage play upon which Travellers Joy was based was slightly more subtle than the film version. Whatever the case, door-slamming farce was really not the forte of either McCallum or Withers, and before long they returned to the heavy drama they did best.
