why be british film so over rat . this film ( which may be obscure to most people outside the u. k ) be consider a classic by the british public and some critic . i be look forward to watch it and even though i have grow wary of british film with the classic tag attach . probably 90 % of these film i have find to be over rat and inferior to their hollywood equivalent . now do not get me wrong and i be not a big fan of hollywood either and but compare to british film and they be generally much more entertaining and less self conscious . anyway get back to genevieve and i find the experience of watch this almost painful . for a supposed comedy it be very unfunny . the oscar winning ( . ) harmonica score be annoy and so be the performance by the lead actor . this film try so hard for the whimsy of and for example the ealing comedy but fails . one thing that really get on my nerve be the constant laughter of the two male competitor and which make them sound like complete moron . i think the british be very biased when it come to their own film . thats the only explanation for immature and extremely cheesy film like this get the classic status .
