Hollywood Star Parade: Picnic

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Starring William Holden, Rosalind Russell, Kim Novak
with Cliff Robertson, Susan Strasberg

Kim Novak blossoms forth as a sex symbol in this sultry love affair between a local girl and a visiting ex-college football hero which begins on the day of the town picnic.
Joshua Logan, director of the original Broadway production, brings to this film adaptation a highly charged sensual atmosphere and an acute observation of the tensions of small-town life.
