I didn't watch the videos because I know them very well. The Picnic scene makes me weak in the knees, even when I just hear the song. All that is ruined by what people want to see today. It's a shame young people don't know that there can be more meaning in a glance than in a bed on screen. William Holden said he didn't dance (I noticed and didn't want to do the scene. So he was dead drunk when he did it. He said this himself in an interview. If it's the scene I'm thinking about, Steve McQueen was quite a kisser. I will watch these later when I have more time to enjoy them.

""Splendor in the Grass"" in 1961. Some pretty risqué scenes of relations in that one.

I love both movies, Picnic and Splendor in the Grass" and watched them numerous times and will watch them again.
My favorite movies are from the days when there was dialogue, not just special effects. The movies of the 1930's - 1950's are wonderful. They often dealt with adult situations, but a child watching wouldn't understand what was going on. When a couple was about to be intimate, the screen would go black, or there'd be fireworks, or as in Gone With the Wind, all you see is Rhett carrying Scarlett up the stairs. The dialogue was also written such that adults would understand, but a child wouldn't.
Today, nothing is left to the imagination, which may be fine for adults, but children are watching too.
