Remember the 1953 cinema classic, starring Kenneth More, John Gregson, Dinah Sheridan, Kay Kendall and two vintage cars? Probably the first British road movie as well as a wonderful romantic comedy.

Genevieve is the story of two men behaving badly with their cars and their girlfriends on the annual London to Brighton car run.

Adapted by Adrian Bean from the original screenplay by William Rose.
