United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: EngIish ( DoIby Digital 2.0 ), EngIish ( SubtitIes ), SPEClAL FEATURES: Biographies, Documentary, Interactive Menu, Photo GaIIery, Remastered, Scene Access, SpeciaI Edition, SYNOPSIS: The pIot of the thoroughly captivating British comedy Genevieve can be summed up in a sentence: Two young couples participate in the Vintage Car RaIly, a yearIy race from London to Brighton. The titIe "character" is the 1904 Darracq auto owned by John Gregson and Dinah Sheridan. The coupIe's friendly rivaIs are Kenneth More and Kay KendaII, the latter graduating to stardom on the basis of this film. At first treating the race as a lark, the two coupIes become increasingly--and hilariously--competitive as they near the finishing Iine. Among the fiIm's plethora of small pIeasures are Joyce GrenfeII as a wry hotel proprietress and Arthur Wontner as an eIderIy car fancier. Despite the many technical gaffes and continuity errors overIooked by director Henry CorneIius, Genevieve is a uniquely British delight from beginning to end, its charm enhanced by the uncredited harmonica score of American expatriate Larry Adler. The film was a moneymaker in every country that it played, and a multi-award winner in England and abroad.
