Although this is really a supporting role, I think this is one of Rosalind’s finest dramatic performances.
“Picnic” will be playing on TCM on October 28.

"Never Wave at a WAC" (1953)
This is the last movie Rosalind made before taking a bit of a hiatus from movies to do a few shows on the stage [including two Broadway hits, Wonderful Town (1953) and Auntie Mame (1956)].

"A Woman of Disinction" (1950)
This is probably Roz’s last effort as her “typical-career-woman-who-has-no-room-for-romance,” but I just love it. It is so funny and full of physical comedy!

A very funny comedy! Both Rosalind and Bob Cummings are funny.
