What more can be said about this movie, a classic, based on a classic enduring play by William Inge that it is the best. The dance scene with Kim Novak and William Holden is to this day one of the sexiest scenes in movies. You will never regret adding ...

Having seen Picnic on television years ago and then having it disappear not to be shown again I wanted to find a copy of it. I was happy to see that it had been reissued! Even though the film is not in widescreen format(a big disappointment)it is a trip ...
