A Beginner's Guide to the Late, Great Cliff Robertson | Movieline: "Academy Award-winner Cliff Robertson passed away on Saturday just a day after his 88th birthday, but the dependable actor (and underrated, in terms of ’60s Oscar winners — right up there with my girl Sandy Dennis!) enjoyed roles in more than 100 films. As we say goodbye to his great talent, here’s an exciting quintet of films to help you admire his versatile appeal.
Picnic (1955)
William Inge’s famous play came to life in a glorious Kansan mist with William Holden and Kim Novak serving up heat and a super-sensual dance sequence worthy of Swayze and Grey’s supplication. In one of Robertson’s first roles, he played Holden’s fraternity buddy Alan, a wealthy grain elevator owner’s son who loses Novak to Holden. Here he lights up the screen with dapper, man’s-man appeal."
