Synopsis: Successful architect Don Gresham (William Holden) engages a young actress, Patty O'Neill (Maggie McNamara), in conversation on top of the Empire State Building, and she accepts his invitation to dinner. Dropping in at his apartment on the way, they decide to dine there as Patty announces herself an excellent cook. Don slips out to buy food, and Patty is briefly visited by his ex-fiancée, Cynthia Slater (Dawn Addams), and not too briefly, by Cynthia's father David (David Niven), a middle-aged, practiced charmer who, on her invitation, stays to dinner. A slight accident at the table occasions Patty to change her dress for Don's bathrobe. While Don is away placating the jealous Cynthia, David loses no time in offering Patty a proposal of marriage and a six hundred dollar gift. She accepts the latter and is surprised by Don in a grateful kiss to David.

I want to marry

a mature man, very rich.

I wish he was married.

Too bad if he has 5 kids.

It's not very romantic.

Love is good for the girls.

I would rather be appreciated

that pampered.

You believe

it would be my kind?

Yes, you must be

very demonstrative.

I like that.

I am very affectionate.

Show me that.

Cynthia was loving it?

You ask too many questions.

Come on.

Why do we go to 79th Street?

The Stork Club is not there.

I know. But this is my address.

Can I go to the Stork Club

without button?

But I ...

We take a glass

then you recoudrez my button.

Singles

have no needle.

I am different.

Does not it bother you to go?

I do not know.

You try to seduce me?

I do not know.

Probably. Why?

I need to know.

You should feel this stuff.

It poses no

such questions.

Me, though. Always.

And if you answered

we will try to seduce you?

I believe and I lose a dinner.

If we say

we have pure intentions?

In general, I believe ...

But sometimes they are wrong.

I hate those men it.

Both girls

willing to be seduced

why choose those

who do not want?

Good. I will not give you the court.

Do you believe me?

Yes. You are nice.

I like you.

I might be lying.

- It's true. Do you tell lies?

I do not know. I never

met a girl like you.

This is nice!

- I will maybe kiss.

That I do not see any problem.

I wonder if you are naive

or if you let me walk.

It's simple, listen to me.

In a man, two things

can happen to a girl:

lose its virtue

or fight to keep it.

I will neither lose,

or fight.

I also play cards on the table.

Is not that better?

Okay. Awarded.

Affection without passion.

Promise!

Affection without passion.

Sounds like a slogan

for elections.

You are exquisite

although a little crazy.

Patty O'Neill.

You are very Irish.

Dad was born in Brooklyn,

but Irish parents.

It has real angers of Irish.

What is he doing?

- He's a cop.

Currency of 10 dollars?

Does not it bother you to go?

At all.

- Without fear?

No fear!

Not

I doubt your manhood.

Leaving that aside ...

- Men are weird.

They are upset

that they be trusted.

But why

do you trust him?

I believe honest man.

Women feel these things it.

I want my three daughters

feel it too!

Thank you. To that

I just learned,

a psychologist

I would pay 25 dollars.

As better than it not gene you.

- That what bothers me?

In general, men

hate virgins. Not you.

Many women

went home?

I do not remember.

The elevator boy

he frowns?

The elevator boy

is an electric button.

It was Cynthia.

- You said it was over.

For me, it's over.

- She had a determined look.

This way.

Excuse me.

Hi, Mike.

Not tonight. I go out.
