El Abuele Automovil was the title bestowed upon this Czechoslovakian production when it was entered into competition at the San Sebastian Film Festival. It was also distributed in English-language communities as Model T and The Grandfather Automobile. Set in the early 20th century, the story concentrates on the development of motorcars, as seen through the eyes of a Czech auto enthusiast and the daughter of a French mechanic. The film benefits immeasurably from the slapstick antics of French comic actor Raymond Bussieres. El Abuele Automovil had much of the same breezy charm as the 1953 British car-race comedy Genevieve. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
