THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.

March is all MUSICALS!

In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's death on April 29, 1980, April is dedicated to Hitch, and all my favorites.

Picnic, 1955





Director: Joshua Logan
Stars: William Holden, Kim Novak





I felt like this was a little like "The Long Hot Summer", except not as good. Holden is a drifter who comes into town, and everyone is smitten with him. And then they all go on a picnic.

And it's pretty dramatic for looking like a happy-ish movie in the beginning. My advice is to watch "The Long Hot Summer instead! It had Paul Newman! Although, I admit, William Holden did look great with his shirt off.
