Two friends driving in the London to Brighton vintage car rally bet on which of them will be the first to arrive back home.
A beloved classic of postwar British cinema, Genevieve follows two couples on an hilariously eventful road trip during the annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. Alan McKim (John Gregson) and his wife Wendy (Dinah Sheridan) take to the road in their cherished 1904 Darracq, only to find themselves locked in a fierce—and often ridiculous—rivalry with their friend Ambrose (Kenneth More) and his feisty companion Rosalind (Kay Kendall) in their 1905 Spyker.
Directed by Henry Cornelius, Genevieve brims with sharp wit, lovable characters, and a spirited sense of adventure, all set against the backdrop of the picturesque English countryside. With a lively score by Larry Adler and a delightful mix of romance and friendly competition, this is a must-see for fans of classic British comedy! -TORONTO FILM SOCIETY
