The Panicky Picnic (also known as "The Traveller's Nightmare" and by its original French title "Une excursion incohérente") is an 1909, silent, black and white movie, set on a fine winter morning, when an aristocratic couple try to enjoy their picnic, however, nothing seems to go well for them at all...
Never again a picnic in the woods for theirs! This one disastrous experience has been enough to cure our friends of any longing they might have fur jaunts in the country. They expected to rough it, but never dreamed they would be compelled to put up with the hardships that they suffered on this pleasure trip. In the first place, when they opened their carefully prepared lunch, they found it crawling with all sorts of worms, etc., and then to add to their troubles, a shower comes on, and, possessing but one umbrella, they naturally get good and wet. On reaching the hotel, they finally expect to get a little rest, but as they seek a little slumber the most terrible nightmares disturb their repose until they finally decide to give it up as a bad job, and hasten back to town, perfect wrecks after their day with Nature.
Its director is Segundo de Chomón and was written by Camille de Morlhon
