Rodney Loredo\u2019s recent book \u2018A Darracq Called Genevieve \u2013 the story of veteran motoring\u2019s most famous car\u2019 traces his life long fascination for the 1953 Oscar\u00a0nominated film Genevieve, the Darracq itself (including the various owners in Australia, New Zealand and Europe), an insight into the annual London to Brighton Vintage Car Run and his relationship with the actress Dinah Sheridan. What follows is the interesting tale of how the movie came to be\u2026or rather almost didn\u2019t come to be.<\/p>\n

Releases of the film Genevieve over the past few decades have helped to keep it in the minds of cinema and television audiences around the globe. The story is as topical now as it was in the early 1950s; perhaps there are some present-day London to Brighton participants for whom the reality of the screen adaptation can run a bit too close for comfort!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
