[Glinkaism1]

Great music and pix montage! Cheers!

[etrax2000]

there must be hours of unused fotage and deleted scenes. this movie seems to have just about every scene cut down, there seems to be missing dialoge, they jump from one place to another so quickly

[Glinkaism1]

@etrax2000 Movie are made in the editing room, baby.

[RImusclebear]

An icredible film with a fantastic cast.

Thanks for the montage music from "Picnic." That incidental music composed by Morris Stoloff was used in TV shows and other movies as well. Listen to the chase scene later on in the movie. And the second track on the LP has fragments of Stoloff's music for the movie "Full of Life." There was a law suit that was settled about using the combined themes of Picnic and Moonglow together.

Uma das cenas mais "sexys" do cinema! E não houve nem um beijo! A dança entre Kim Novak(esplendorosa!) e William Holden(perfeito como o vagabundo sem eira nem beira!) é emblemática! Lembro que meu pai quase não deixa minha irmã mais velha assistir a esse filme por causa da cena em que Holden aparece sem camisa! Fosse hoje... Misericórdia!

The slowly dance scene, with thea marvelous an exciting song, memorable. God bless Bill Holden, Susan Strasberg .

Stoloff and (last but not least) Kim Novak!

Ah !! William Holden !! So beautiful and great actor who died too young !! And this movie !!! Du grand Art comme on en fait plus...

[wyip52]

I first heard Billy Vaughn's version of the theme song back in early seventies and never for forget about its haunting tune. I finally saw this movie on TV in the early eighties and realize that the song fits the movie so well. The slow dance scene is most memorable.

[PRE1959]

I saw this for the first time in about 80' and never forgot the dance between Bill and Kim. It stayed with me, and makes me feel kind of meloncholy when I see it now, cause he died and now that scene is pure art now. Pure Americana.

[tombradley]

In the dance scene, Novak and Holden slowly move together, obviously to kiss, the HE turns his head. But they literally look into each others souls after that.

In my opinion, Holden was America, shy but when forced to strong. That is why he was perfect in The Wild Bunch and Kwai.

[RImusclebear]

@PRE1959 talk about erotic! would put the porn films of today to shame! Erotic, erotic erotic!!!! The electricity between Novak and Holden is palpable!

[etrax2000]

@RImusclebear whenever they play this onTCM( which is often) they say that Holden and novak hated working with each other.

This is a great montage.

Bill Holden was certainly teh sex symbol this age - what a gorgeous, fit looking man! I've read about him, his problems with alcolism - but all the films I've seen him in you wouldn't have known-what a professional. So sad the way he died on his own.

I know Kim Novak was supposed to be the prettier of the two sisters in this film, and she WAS gorgeous, but check out Susan Strasberg at 2:47 of this clip. She sure as heck ain't chopped liver ;-)

[sierracuban]

I agree......My babe in this movie is Susan Strasberg.......( Little Millie Owens ).....That kid was

gorgeous even here at age 17.....( Born 1938 )

I admit that I got a crush on her with this movie,

since the first time I saw it in the late 1960's....

God bless her, she passed away in 1999 at age 60 after a long battle with breast cancer.....

[TubeGhost]

@sierracuban Yeah, I agree with you. Susan is a better looking woman, Kim looks a touch tarted up and much older than her 19 years. Susan looked beautiful without the more mature makeup job and had more delicate features.

"Picnic" aired on TCM on January 11, 2009.

I recorded this movie on my TiVo.

This is an all time classic from Columbia Pictures! The first time I saw this film was

during the summer of 1987!
