Of all the early film producers, those of Hepworth are generally among the better films to watch in the 21st century. Unlike MOST of the films of Edison and Lumiere, their films often had cute stories or a good sense of humor. It was in this light that I saw this film and saw it as a complete waste of time. Three people are having a picnic and NOTHING of any interest occurs. Absolutely freaking nothing! This is not too atypical of some of the early films, but Hepworth must have been caught napping or just scraped up some old deleted scenes to produce this. This film is SO DULL that it's not even of much interest to film historians. Find another early film--they're not all this pointless.
