Short story - time travelers, man and wife (?) vacation in 1940's (?) Cuba (?) from the dire future and decide they don't want to go back. They kill the first time cop (?) that's sent for them (maybe) in a hotel room. Thinking themselves smart they fall in with an American (?) Film troupe (?) and the director says that he thinks they'd be perfect for a role in his new movie "about a couple of escapees from a dire future, who think they're safe because they've fallen in with an American film troupe."

Name that story. Name that author. Much obliged.

Sounds like Ray Bradbury.

Damn, I've read this but I still don't know who it is. Sorry not to be more help, but I second the "sounding like Ray Bradbury" - or maybe Robert Silverberg, or Sheckley?

I have this problem too- a malfunctioning space station or ship which is meant to mimic earth. I think the story opened with a squirrel that kept going up and down a tree. Sigh.
