Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Picnic is a Pulitzer Prize-winning 1953 play by William Inge, which was adapted into a 1955 movie directed by Joshua Logan.Hal, a handsome drifter, arrives in a small Kansas town on Labor Day weekend, seeking work. The town happens to be the home of his old college roommate Alan, scion of a wealthy family. Alan is romancing Madge Owens, the prettiest girl in town. Madge's widowed mother Flo is desperate to get her married off to Alan and is horrified by the romantic sparks that soon emerge between Madge and Hal. Madge's younger, plainer, bookish sister Millie is jealous of the attention that Madge gets for her beauty. Rosemary, the spinster schoolteacher who lives in the boardinghouse next door, is also attracted to Hal, despite the attentions of her suitor, Howard, an older man who owns a general store.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The play's original Broadway production featured an unknown Paul Newman in the part of Alan. The film recast most of the roles with Hollywood stars, including 37-year-old William Holden as Hal, Kim Novak (in her Star-Making Role) as Madge, Rosalind Russell as Rosemary, and Cliff Robertson as Alan. | |

Age Lift: William Holden was reluctant to play Hal, as he was at least a decade too old for the part as written. | |

Ambiguously Gay: In the film, Millie comes off like she might be a lesbian, what with the oversized glasses, the covert smoking, her comments about never dancing with boys and not wanting to get married and have babies, and her insistence that she has to lead while dancing with Rosemary. Less true in the play, where Millie confesses to a crush on Alan. In the play, Alan wraps his arms around Hal as Hal swings him around. | |
