Bank Holiday
U.K., 1938
Bank Holiday a.k.a Three on a Weekend is a delightful film directed by Carol Reed, starring Margaret Lockwood and John Lodge. The rich cast of characters includes a caring nurse, a widower and a vacationing family all representing different classes whose stories intertwine to make a charming romantic comedy. Bank Holiday borrows plot points from Grand Hotel (1932) and People on a Sunday (1930) with sexual overtones so unequivocal that American censors required changes in the story and a new title, Three on a Weekend. Lockwood considered this to be her first important role and she went on to make six more films with Reed.
35mm, b&w, 86 min. Director: Carol Reed. Screenwriters: Hans Wilhelm, Rodney Ackland, Roger Burford. With: John Lodge, Margaret Lockwood, Hugh Williams.
