Every year, barrister Alan McKim (John Gregson) and wife Wendy (Dinah Sheridan) compete against Alan's friend (and Wendy's former beau), Ambrose Claverhouse (Kenneth More), in the London to Brighton vintage car race. This time round, however, Alan's 1904 roadster, 'Genevieve', breaks down on route. Angered by Ambrose's jokes at the expense of his beloved car, Alan bets his rival that he can beat him on the return journey to London - and the race is on! Larry Adler's harmonica score was nominated for an Oscar. (ITV Studios Home Entertainment)

A nice, funny comedy that revolves around old cars and, in a classic manner, around relationships between men and women. There are actors here who can be funny just with their facial expressions, which helps the film quite a bit because the dialogues are more on the classic, slapstick side, where actors sometimes try a bit too hard to make it funny, even though it's not always the case.
