Picnic is a 1955 American Technicolor romantic comedy-drama film in Cinemascope, which was adapted for the screen by Daniel Taradash from William Inge's 1953 Pulitzer Prize-winning play.Joshua Logan, director of the original Broadway stage production, also directed the film version, which stars William Holden and Kim Novak, with Rosalind Russell, Susan Strasberg and Cliff Robertson in a supporting roles. Picnic was nominated for six Academy Awards and won two.
The film dramatizes 24 hours in the life of a small Kansas town in the mid-20th-century United States. It revolves around the Labor Day holiday, the traditional end of summer vacations in America, after which people must return to school or work and face up to the challenges in their lives. It is the story of the proverbial outsider who blows into town and subsequently manages to overturn complacency, shake convention, disrupt and rearrange lives and reset the fates of all those with whom he comes into contact.

William Holden & Kim Novak dance, from the movie "Picnic." I love this scene from the movie "Picnic" from director Josh Logan, released in 1955, based on the play by William Inge. I've always identified, for whatever reason, with the character Hal Carter that Holden played in this film. So many great lines in "Picnic." "You don't love someone because they're perfect, Mom." Who hasn't thought that at one time or another in their lives? William Holden and Kim Novak were great in this, even though Holden thought he was too old to play the part of Hal. I heard he had to drink quite a bit to get up the nerve to do the "Moonglow" dancing scene in this clip. So memorable. So perfect. This clip appears courtesy of BFM Digital and IODA.

My favorite scene from the movie Picnic (1955). In this clip you will see what I have always envisioned today's 1950's scene to be. Music : Ernie Higgins and his orchestra playing Pennies From Heaven. I have searched and searched for this scene on youtube and never found it so I made it a task to buy the software to allow me to upload it for all to enjoy. The scene plays the entire song through.

Tom And Jerry - Pup On A Picnic 1955 - Fragment
La escena que es mi favorita, de una de laspelículas que más me gustan
On a picnic morning
Without a warning
I looked at you
And somehow I knew
On a day for singing
My heart went winging
A picnic grove
Was our rendezvous
You and I in the sunshine
We strolled the fields and farms
At the last light of evening
I held you in my arms
Now when days grow stormy
And lonely for me
I just recall
Picnic time with you
Now when days grow stormy
And lonely for me
I just recall
