What Genevieve Is About

Alan McKim is a barrister and the love of his life is a 1904 Darracq called Genevieve. Every year he and his wife Wendy take part in the veteran car run from London to Brighton. This time he falls out with his friend Ambrose, and they lay a bet on the way back: whoever reaches London first wins. Two couples, two old cars, and two men who get more childish by the mile. Henry Cornelius directs, with Dinah Sheridan, John Gregson, Kay Kendall and Kenneth More. The score comes out of Larry Adler's harmonica and was nominated for an Academy Award.
