There is one about the lady who plays the trumpet like Harry James. A suggestive trait, the notes said, oh, so naughty. I found the note pretentious until I saw the scene and stopped to think about it. I mean, since when to bimbos get up in movies and play the trumpet on a lark, and outdo the best trumpet players? Only when it's in the script and in the script to bring something out in the movie that you might not have noticed. I guess I'm still naive, because I wouldn't have noticed. The two main characters are such nice people, husband and wife. They could have been Doris Day and James Garner. Ken More is the racy guy. I wouldn't have understood just how racy without the trumpet scene. These annual excursions to Brighton were just opportunities for him to get a woman down there with him for an overnight. He had even had Gregson's wife of three years down there once four years previously and Gregson who knew his rakish friend well was now all worried about what they had done. He never finds out. But it does turn this innocent looking movie into a big sexual prowess kind of match between Gregson and More. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genevieve Blu-ray *by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2013* Genevieve is a delightful British comedy from 1953, winner of both the BAFTA (British Oscars) Best British Film and the Golden Globe Best Foreign Film awards. It is a story of two antique car buffs (John Gregson and Kenneth More) who through circumstance and misadventure end up challenging each other to a grudge-match race from Brighton to London. The comedic trials are shared by a long-suffering wife (Dinah Sheridan) and a new girlfriend (Kay Kendall).I had remembered Genevieve fondly from my one childhood viewing over 50 years ago, and had wanted a copy for many years. I eventually found a British release that required a region 2 DVD player, but its picture quality was marginal. A later Korean copy was worse. Now this fine film is available on Blu-ray, and playable on North American players. The video and sound are not reference quality, but nonetheless satisfactory, and likely the best we will ever get. A note on aspect ratios: films made before 1954 were in the aspect ratio of 1.37 to 1. This was "full screen" on the old 4:3 televisions. Modern screens are 16:9, and much better for displaying widescreen films. Those who are distressed by black bands to the left and right on their television screen when viewing old films in so-called "full" mode can merely push the "picture size" button ("pic size", or "format") on your TV remote to change the aspect ratio. This will result in some distortion of the picture or loss of image at the edges. When viewing an old movie I always run through the options by repeatedly pressing the format button, then selecting the image that looked best. Almost invariably for old 1.37:1 films this is either "full" (with black bars at the sides) or "justify" (or "just"), which stretches the left and right edges to fill the screen, but stretches the center image less so distortion is not obvious.Genevieve is typical of the good-natured comedies released by the J. Arthur Rank Organization and the Ealing Studios during the 1950s, and is considered by many to be the best of its kind. Its technical aspects will not wow you, but its story will warm you immediately, and then again every time you think of it thereafter. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No wonder this is a beloved British icon! *by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020* I saw this years ago and wanted to see it again. It never shows up on tv or streaming sites. I waited until it was released again, happily in HD, and it's just as brilliant as I remember. While helping shoot Kenneth More to fame, it is mostly an enduring reminder of the great talent and tragic loss of the great comedic beauty, Kay Kendall (worth looking up her bio). And it's darned funny as well. While almost an indie of its time, it stands against any of the great English comedies of the period and is still just as funny today as it was in its era. And it also was pretty risque in its day. It wouldn't have passes muster in the US... what really happened that weekend More and Dinah Sheridan went off to Brighton before she married John Gregson? Spicy stuff. And the whole story is stolen by the car Genevieve herself. You'll want to start drive casual rally races next weekend. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/18957630-genevieve-the-rank-collection](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/18957630-genevieve-the-rank-collection) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
