Bank Holiday (also known as Three on a Weekend) is a 1938 British drama film directed by Carol Reed and starring John Lodge, Margaret Lockwood, Hugh Williams and Kathleen Harrison.
On a 1930s bank holiday weekend, a number of people rush for trains to head to the seaside. They include:
It was the third collaboration between Reed and Lockwood. Actor Michael Rennie appeared (uncredited) as a Welsh Guardsman in the film.
The film was popular and helped establish Carol Reed's reputation. [2]
The Sunday Express called it "'one of the ablest pieces of picture-making to come out of a British studio." [3]
Lockwood was voted third best actress of 1938 by the readers of Film Weekly. [4]
