==Music== The film's "[[Theme from Picnic]]", composed by [[George Duning]] and [[Steve Allen]] (although Allen's lyrics were not used in the film), was released in three versions: * "[[Moonglow (song)|Moonglow]] and Theme from 'Picnic'" by [[Morris Stoloff]] and the [[Columbia Pictures]] Orchestra reached #1 on the Billboard Top 100 and remained on the chart for 27 weeks. * "Moonglow and Theme from 'Picnic'" by [[George Cates]] and His Orchestra reached #4 on the Billboard Top 100 and remained on the chart for 22 weeks. * "Picnic", a vocal version by [[the McGuire Sisters]], reached #13 on the Billboard Top 100 and remained on the chart for 20 weeks. The single was a double A-side with "Delilah Jones", a #37 hit. At one point, the three singles were in the Top 40 simultaneously, and the Stoloff and Cates versions ranked consecutively at #3 and #4 in the Top 100 chart of June 2, 1956. The soundtrack album reached #2 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' album chart]], where it remained for 56 weeks beginning in February 1956.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-LgXlQnsDK4C&q=moonglow+picnic+%22steve+allen%22&pg=PA23 |title=''The Billboard Book of Number Two Singles''.
