Classic British comedy from 1953. After an argument, Ambrose and Alan decide to race back to London in their vintage cars, initially agreeing to exchange money Alan decides to bet upon his beloved car Genevieve. This is from the final few minutes of the movie and I've included the "The End" credit because I adore Larry Adler's Oscar nominated score :)

Kenneth Gilbert More CBE (20th September 1914 - 12th July 1982) was an English film and stage actor. Raised to stardom by the vintage car based film-comedy Genevieve (1953), he appeared in many roles as a carefree, happy-go-lucky gent. His biggest hits from this period include Raising a Riot (1955), Reach for the Sky (1956) and The Admirable Crichton (1958). He starred in Doctor in the House (1954), the first of the popular Doctor film series. Although his career declined in the early 1960s, two of his own favourite films date from this time - The Comedy Man (1964) and The Greengage Summer (1961) with Susannah York, "one of the happiest films on which I have ever worked." He also enjoyed a revival in the much-acclaimed TV adaptation of The Forsyte Saga (1967) and the Father Brown series.

Geneviève de Galard, une femme dans l'enfer de Dien Bien Phu. Parcours sur Canal Académie de Laetitia de Witt avec Geneviève de Galard (infirmière, vétéran d'Indochine) .02.03.2008 Un parcours où courage et dévouement sont les maîtres mots. Geneviève de Galard, ancienne convoyeuse de l'air, raconte ici comment, prise dans le piège de Diên Biên Phu, elle partagea le quotidien et les souffrances de 15 000 soldats pendant près de deux mois. Comment dans l'enfer des combats, elle devint leur rayon de soleil en incarnant pour eux l'infirmière, l'épouse, la confidente... En 1953, Geneviève de Galard, fille de la bonne aristocratie du Sud-Ouest, intègre le corps très restreint des convoyeuses de l'air : une trentaine d'infirmières volantes chargées de soigner les blessés lors des évacuations aériennes. Dès 1953, leur principal lieu d'intervention est l'Indochine. En janvier 1954, Geneviève rejoint Hanoi au Tonkin. Face à l'évolution de la situation, deux convoyeuses sont désignées chaque jour pour se rendre au camp retranché de Dien Bien Phu et évacuer les blessés. Au même moment se tient la conférence de Berlin. Elle se solde par l'annonce d'une prochaine conférence sur la paix prévue à Genève en mai. C'est alors que la Chine décide d'apporter une aide massive au Vietminh afin de renforcer sa position lors de la prochaine conférence. Les données du combat changent du tout au tout, l'artillerie vietminh ne laisse que peu de chance au camp retranché. Le 13 mars, le Vietminh mène une attaque terrible sur Dien Bien Phu. La piste est endommagée, et le Vietminh encercle le camp. Les évacuations vont-elles se poursuivre et dans quelles conditions ? Le 17 mars un premier avion décolle d'Hanoi. Il arrive à se poser mais le Vietminh tire dès que commence le chargement. L'avion redécolle sans avoir pu charger les évacués. Désormais les évacuations se feront de nuit dans des conditions de plus en plus périlleuses. Geneviève de Galard doit assurer le vol de la nuit du 26 au 27 mars. Son avion décolle mais, sous les feux des tirs, il est obligé de repartir sans blessés. Sa déception est grande. Elle demande alors à faire partie du prochain départ. C'est là que son destin bascule. Arrivé à Dien Bien Phu à 4 heures du matin, son avion, endommagé, ne repartira jamais. A 29 ans, Geneviève se retrouve prisonnière, la seule femme à partager le sort des 15 000 soldats de l'armée française pris dans la nasse de cette sinistre cuvette. Affectée à l'antenne médicale centrale, Geneviève de Galard a en charge les blessés graves à leur sortie de la salle de réanimation. Certains forcent son admiration comme ce jeune légionnaire triple amputé qui trouve encore le moyen de plaisanter. Pour eux tous, Geneviève est un peu la mère, un peu la sœur, un peu l'amie, sa seule présence rend moins inhumain cet enfer de feu, de boue et de sang. Sa place, elle ne la céderait à personne. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Une femme à Dien Bien Phu Geneviêve de Galard Les Arenes 2003 « Une femme dans l'enfer de Dien Bien Phu.

Montagne St. Geneviève is a Waltz from Django Reinhardt (1910-1953), a gypsy from Paris, who played his solos on the guitar with just two fingers (index and middle finger). This video plays a playback, made with Djangolizer. You can practice your instrument over this waltz in E minor. Djangolizer is a software, which produces a rhythm playback in a Gypsy Swing style. This music is also called Jazz Manouche or Hot Jazz. As you can hear, the rhythm guitar sounds very percussive. When you play your solos, you should play more arpeggios, than scales, to bring out the harmony of the song more clearly. The usual instruments in this style are guitar, violin, clarinet, accordion, upright bass and saxophone. Djangolizer shows you the notes of the chords, arpeggios and scales over each chord of the song. There are shown 5 positions on the fretboard. Each position can be displayed also in diagonal form. Of course you can switch between right- and left-handed fretboard view. With the full version of Djangolizer, you can compose your own songs as well. By the way, there are already more than 300 Gypsy Swing songs and Jazz standards in the library. You can transpose them into any tonality you like. Besides the fretboard, you can change to the score view. There you can choose the key of your instrument: C (standard), A, F, Bb, Eb and Bass. You can set the tempo of the playback between 40 and 300 bpm. Play the full song or just a few bars, to practice the arpeggios or scales over just a few chords. You can print out the whole chord table on a sheet with all the scales, chords or arpeggios or combined, in any position on the fretboard. If you want to print out a sheet for your student, you can print out the song with some additional TAB or score lines, to write down the theme or some licks. Go to www.djangolizer.ch to check out the free online demo. On the page, you will find also some informations about Gypsy Swing in general and tips&tricks; about practicing this style with Djangolizer. You can find also tutorials in English and German on YouTube, how to use Djangolizer. Have fun :-)

Picasso was infamous for his love affairs. Here are 87 slides of paintings, drawings & photos of the women who inspired him, loved him, and those he drove mad. The muses were: Muse 1: FERNANDE OLIVIER (1904 -1912) In 1904, Picasso met a model named Fernande Olivier who would become his mistress for the next seven years. His relationship with her influenced the mood of his paintings and started what is known as his "Rose Period. Muse 2: EVA GOUEL a/k/a MARCELLE HUMBERT (1912-1915) "Ma Jolie" Eva Gouel (Marcelle Humbert) was gentle, delicate and frail. Picasso, who was superstitious and believed objects (like paintings) could be used as weapons, was afraid to depict her. Instead, he changed her name and hid little love messages in his Cubist work. Eva was very sick. When it became clear she was dying, Picasso left her Muse 3: OLGA KHOKHLOVA (1917-1927) Olga was a ballerina of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, Picasso's first wife, and mother of his first child Paulo. She introduced him to high society. They separated but never divorced because he did not want her to gain half of his wealth in divorce. They here technically married until her death in 1955 Muse 4: MARIE-THERESE WALTER (1927-1936) Picasso was 45 years old when he met 17 year old Marie-Thérèse whom he hires as a model for his paintings. She soon becomes his mistress. She appears in his paintings as blond, sunny and bright. Their daughter, Maya, is born in 1935, the same year of Picasso's final separation from Olga. Marie Thérèse always lived with the hope that Picasso would one day marry her. She eventually hanged herself after Picasso's death Muse 5: DORA MAAR (1936-1944) "The Weeping Woman" Dora was a Surrealist photographer, poet and painter. Picasso was attracted by her beauty and. She grew up in Argentina and spoke Spanish. She became Picasso's companion as she documented his creation of "Guernica ." In the course of their relationship Picasso painted her in a number of guises, some realistic, some benign, others tortured or threatening. Their relationship lasted nearly nine years. Like all the women in his life, Dora was cruelly abused emotionally by the narcissistic Picasso. After he left her, she found solace in Roman Catholicism ("After Picasso, God.")v She spent her last years living between Paris and Provence in the house Picasso had given her. Muse 6: FRANCOISE GILOT (1943-1953) "The Woman Flower" Francoise, "la femme fleur," was a beautiful young art student who took up with Pablo when he was well into his 60s. She bore him two children: Claude and Paloma. She leaves him in 1953 because of his abusive treatment and unfaithfulness. Later, she married the American vaccine pioneer Jonas Salk. Muse 7: Genevieve Laporte (1951-1953) Genevieve began her affair with Picasso when she was 17 and he 70. Her affair continued until 1953 when she ultimately ended the relationship the same time as his other girlfriend, Francoise Muse 8: JACQUELINE ROQUE (1953-1973) In 1953, Picasso meets Jacqueline Roque at the Madoura Pottery where she worked and he made and painted ceramics. Their marriage in 1961 was also the means of one last act of revenge against Françoise. Their marriage lasted 20 years until his death, during which time he created more than 400 portraits of her. After Picasso's death in 1973, Francoise Gilot whose children had already launched litigation to have their father certified insane, fought with Roque over the distribution of the artist's estate, and agreed to establish the Musée Picasso in Paris. Jacqueline killed herself with a gun 13 years after the death of Picasso.

Adler wrote his autobiography in 1985 Adler moved to the UK in 1949 having been forced to leave the States after accusations of pro-communist sympathies during the McCarthy era. The slurs ruined his career in the US, though he was widely respected for his refusal to accuse other musicians or acquaintances. Besides his musical fame, Adler also appeared in a number of films - playing himself. He also wrote an autobiography - It Ain't Necessarily So - in 1985, and worked as a food critic for Harper's & Queen. The 1953 movie Genevieve brought him an Oscar nomination for his work on the soundtrack, although his name was originally kept off the credits because of the McCarthy blacklisting.

Want to see James Bond's super car that stars in his film "Spectre" - the Aston Martin DB 10? Or the veteran car that starred the in the 1953 film "Genevieve" - a 1904 Darracq? 'I saw both when I went along to London's Regent Street Motor Show one Saturday in the autumn of 2015', says the English photographer ROGER GEORGE CLARK. 'Plus 100 veteran cars and other classic and modern-day vehicles celebrating 125 years of motoring. They were on display in one of London’s most famous West End shopping streets which was closed to traffic for a day so the show could take place. I first visited the show in 2013 and was intrigued by what I saw. Not only the cars, but also their owners - many of whom dress in period clothes. Famous for its Christmas lights Regent Street, which is filled with fashionable shops, has style. 'The show is timed to coincide with the annual running of the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. This is organised by the Royal Automobile Club and features a grand array of cars built before 1905. Next morning the veteran cars head off from Hyde Park and make a 60-mile drive to the Sussex coast. 'The event, which traditionally takes place on the first Sunday in November, commemorates the first London to Brighton run in 1896 that celebrated a new-found freedom for motorists. In that year Britain’s Parliament passed the Locomotives on the Highway Act. This raised the speed limit to 14mph and abolished the need for cars to be preceded by a man on foot carrying a red warning flag. 'Although the veteran cars drew me the Regent Street show I also glimpsed the future of motoring. On display were the latest plug-in and fuel cell vehicles, including several zero-emission electric and hydrogen cars.' 'The 2015 the Regent Street Motor Show attracted 450,000 spectators - an astonishing number for a one-day-event. You can find the James Bond Aston Martin DB10 near the end of this video. Aston Martin are making only 10 and none is for sale.'

Violin: Michèle Auclair Piano: Otto Schulhof Auclair performs so extremely well and seems to sum up her strong personality and artistic life. It is a firm statement, it shows authority and beauty, but it is also a prayer when leaving this earth with grace, and reminiscing the vivacity of a life, full of occurrences, praise and devotion, which finally ends in an affirmative manner. Biographie: Michèle Auclair (16 November 1924 -- 10 June 2005) was a French violinist and teacher. Michèle Auclair was born into a family with sense for arts and culture. Her first teacher was Line Talluel and later, at the Paris Conservatoire, Jules Boucherit, Boris Kamensky and Jacques Thibaud. In 1943, she won the first prize at the Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud Competition and in 1946 also the first prize at Geneva Concours. From 1956, she collaborated with the pianist Jacqueline Bonneau with their concert debut a year later. In 1962, she started another collaboration with the pianist Geneviève Joy. In 1967, she was appointed violin professor at the Paris Conservatoire together with Pierre Doukan. In the next two decades, their students won more than 45 international prizes. She also taught at the New England Conservatoire in Boston. In 1995, she was awarded Légion d'honneur for her contributions in the field of music.

It never strayed far from the factory, its previous home, Ann Arbor, Michigan, just 60km away. From new, it's had just three owners, myself being the third. I've had a passion for vintage and veteran cars ever since I was a little tacker, and I always had a dream that, some day, I might have one of my own. It all started in 1994, at age 7, while living in Albany, WA, where the former Extravaganza motor museum; once home to one of the most famous veteran cars in history, a 1904 Darracq called "Genevieve" famous for its appearance in the 1953 movie Genevieve. From that point, I was hooked on old cars, and as a boy, built countless models from Lego. Later in 2009, I was living in Burnie, Tasmania, and even though the "Wonders of Wynyard" motor museum was only a few kilometres away, ironically, I never went there! The museum is home to the equal oldest Ford vehicle in the world - a 1903 Ford Model A. So I wanted to own a vintage car, and I thought what better car to own than one of the most significant cars in history; the Ford Model T. It was the world's first car to be mass produced on an assembly line. The Model T has the second highest production number of any car in history, with just over 15 million of them built in its 19 year production run, between 1908 and 1927. It's only been surpassed by the Volkswagen Beetle, with 21 million produced. My family and I moved to NSW in 2010. In January of 2011, I decided I wanted to buy a Model T. I scoured the Internet, hoping I might be able to buy one in Australia, but none were within my budget, the lowest priced car I found, was $45,000 - that was never going to happen! So I resorted to looking in America, and finally found the car, that would ultimately become my own. I imported the car, with the help of my father. He imports all kinds of products from overseas, so I have to thank him for his assistance in importing my car. It took 8 months, almost $6,000 in freight charges and import fees, and much anticipation, from when I expressed an interest in the car, to when it actually arrived on Australian soil. Almost every part on the car is original, with the exception of the seat upholstery, and of course, the tyres. Even the 87 year-old, 20 horsepower engine is original and still running as smoothly as ever. The car underwent a partial restoration in 1966, and was garaged ever since. I had the roof restored in Taree by a very skilled upholsterer, Graham from Taree Upholsterers. A local tyre fitter, whom to my surprise had antique equipment in the workshop, was able to replace the perished inner-tube on the spare wheel. I've replaced the 4 coil boxes, so now the engine runs as it should. There's obviously no formal training available these days to teach anyone how to drive such a historic museum piece, so I learned via videos on YouTube, uploaded by fellow Model T enthusiasts. The controls of the Model T are nothing like a modern car. There are three pedals on the floor -- none of which are the accelerator! There's the clutch, the reverse pedal, and the brake. The handbrake lever not only operates the parking brake, it doubles up as the gear lever -- which is very amusing to modern mechanics when you try and explain it to them! The Model T has just 2 forward gears, plus reverse; and has a top speed of about 70km/h (45mph). I've been clocked at 60km/h, but mostly only drive around 40-50km/h. By the time the car arrived, I felt confident I would be able to drive her, after I got the car started for the first time, my Tin Lizzie performed almost perfectly, although the fuel was running extremely rich at first, which caused her to blow lots of smoke! With some assistance from a fellow Model T owner and friend from Sydney, I soon had the engine running to original spec. Since the car arrived in August last year, I've had to do little maintenance. The Model T was heralded as one of the most reliable cars in history. However, for safety reasons, I've added a set of auxiliary brakes. The reason for this, the original brakes are not attached to the wheels, as with a modern car -- they are attached to the transmission, and have cotton linings. While I had every faith in the T's ability to stop, it wouldn't hurt to have an extra insurance policy!
