I'm 77, but I will never forget when at 19, I wanted to be William Holden dancing with Kim Novak in "Picnic" (1955).

That scene was the most appealing demonstration of instant overwhelming natural desire I have ever seen. (click here or here). But it took the blending of "Moonglow" and "The Theme from Picnic" to make the whole scene work. (click here for soundtrack).

What a memory of those days! I think I felt the same way the when I first danced with the girl, the mother of my four children, not long after.

That was excellent. I watched the scene. Kim takes over. The schoolgirl, poor thing was absolutely outclassed by Kim’s sultry entrance, she presents her woman’s body, a curvy silhoette, all wrapped in soft pink satin. William acts as though a bomb just went off went he sees her in the distance.
I knew that song without knowing what it was called till now.
