Laurel and Hardy’s A Perfect Day is a picnic screw-up. The day begins with smiles, but nothing goes right, and they never get far from home. The picnic is an unfulfilled dream.
“We’re going on a picnic.”
*Compare this with Charlie Chaplin’s slapstick A Day’s Pleasure posted elsewhere on PicnicWit.com. Also, Picnicsonfilm.org.
