One of the best comedies I have ever seen., 1 September 2005
10/10
Author: rutheej from United States

I saw this movie when it first was made.

Then I saw it several times later.

It is comedy in the true, old-fashion style. One does not see this kind of movie anymore.

Over the years I have tried to find a copy of "Genevieve" and have been unsuccessful.

If anyone out there can help me locate a copy, either VCR or DVD, I would appreciate it very much.

So much of what I see today should take a lesson from this happy, funny little movie.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
