Although the dedication inscription in Travels with My Aunt might appear to suggest that "H.H.K" and Yvonne Cloetta are different people they are in fact, one and the same; or, at least, Greene's "Happy Healthy Kitten" and his mistress and companion Yvonne are manifestations of one single being. The cinematic adaptation of The Comedians, with a screenplay by Greene and starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Peter Ustinov and Alec Guinness, was released in 1967.
