Picnic (1955)

spiderwort you once said you gonna visit every place where this movie was made, offcourse it's a great challange.... but did you?




Sterling Lake Kansas, looks cozy....

Yes, teleadm, I did. Six or seven different small towns, I think, in south central Kansas, not southeast Kansas where Inge was from. It had more prairie and a better look - especially for the picnic twilight scene. I have ancestors buried in some of those towns - well, actually I have a couple buried in his home town, too. Anyway, it was quite a treat. And here's something you may not know: Shirley Knight, who made her debut in Inge's The Dark at the Top of the Stairs was from a small town nearby and was actually an un-credited extra in Picnic.
