Re: The Timing of the Film


The invitation to Tania's party on the 22nd September. A long way from the London-Brighton run in November I thought!

Hi All




Thew timing (days )of Genevieve has always puzzled me.




Take this scenario for example:




Day 1 Friday (Alan comes home from work early, Ambrose turns up)




Day 2 Saturday (The run down to Brighton - Dinner dance)




Day 3 Sunday (The Race back)




This fits the facts well apart from:




1) the London Brighton is held on a Sunday - or was it on a Saturday in the 1950s)


2) the race back on Sunday. (The fruit and veg seller on the embankment, the hardware store open where Ambrose gets boxed in, the traffic levels - remember this is early 50s London - the lorry at Merrimans).




If however you take the drive down to Brighton as being a Sunday and hence the race back as a Monday it fits even worse. Would there have been a cycling club (they push start Ambrose) out on a Monday - probably not.




Any other thoughts




Regards




David
