A Cold Wind in August is a 1961 low-budget, drama exploitation film directed by Alexander Singer and adapted from the eponymous novel by Burton Wohl.[2] The film stars Lola Albright as a mentally unbalanced burlesque-show stripper in her 30s who becomes involved in a torrid romance with a 17-year-old boy played by Scott Marlowe. In reality, Marlowe was actually 28, only eight years younger than Albright.
