Remember the 1953 cinema classic, starring Kenneth More, John Gregson, Dinah Sheridan, Kay Kendall and two vintage cars? 

It's 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.

William Rose wrote the original screenplay.
