Picnic is director Joshua Logan’s 1955 screen adaptation of the William Inge play. William Holden stars as a drifter whose presence upsets the status quo in a  small town, particularly with regard to young Alan Benson (Cliff Robertson) and his beautiful yet frustrated girlfriend (Kim Novak).

Directed by John Huston, The Roots of Heaven focuses on Morel (Trevor Howard), who begins a mission to save the elephant in French Equitorial Africa. Under great pressure from the local government, Morel teams up with an ex-British Army Major (Errol Flynn), an American TV commentator (Orson Welles), and a photojournalist (Eddie Albert).
