Genevieve (1954)

Fluffy English comedy about two obsessive vintage car owners and their increasing competitiveness during an annual classic car rally. Their efforts to sabotage each other are rather low-key -- it all seems a little too genteel.

Another problem is that the women in their cars seem a little too patient to be believed. Every once in a while they let out exasperated sighs and roll their eyes -- but so what? If one of them had thrown a full-on fit or started scheming WITH their partner, that would have been far funnier. As it is, they're just the voices of patient reason. Yawn.

I mean, it's cute, but in a very mild way.
