May 2 12 5:51 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I see that AUGUST WEEKEND has shown up at the Internet Archive. It's not a horror film. Matter of fact, from the description I read, it sounds like the very 180 degree antithesis of a horror film. But Valerie Hobson does get top billing, supported by G.P. Huntley (TOWER OF LONDON and some others), and down the cast list is Edgar Norton, "Benson" in SON OF FRANKENSTEIN. His character here is "Grimsby" or some such, so it might well be yet another butler. And the director is one of Bud and Lou's regulars, Charles Lamont. Probably not much here for horror fans, but Hobson fans (Elisabeth??) might be interested. http://archive.org/details/AugustWeekend

It was only recently I was able to view it again, with the same results. So many times things viewed in childhood are never as scary/funny/whatever as we remember them, but this one sure was. "The Red Balloon" is the other one that is just as I remembered it. BA~
