Picnic - By: DoDo Fan, 25 Feb 2007
This 1955 movie was seminal in its impact on alll that was to follow in
the cinema. A virile drifter arrives in a smalll mid-west town on Labour
Day & makes his brawn, handsomeness & virility known.
This was high-end sexual innuendo - just about permissible in the mid fifties, & the evocative music of the soundtrack possesses the same impact as the 'Bolero' music of '10' .

A young Holden was at the top of his form here & Novak perfectly co-starred.
The movie well earned its academy award & academy nominations.
Its a joy to now find a region 2 DVD available.
