Review of Picnic (1955) by Steve S — 02 Jan 2011
*** (out of four).
A well made, but dated adaption of the stage play. It isn't a bad movie, but is far from a gret one. Nice performances from everyone, but something is missing.
William Holden plays a drifter who lands himself in a small midwestern twon in hops of getting a job with an old friend. He falls for the friends beauty queen girlfriend (Kim Novak).
There's a nice feel to the film, but its syrupy production hurts it.
