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.

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 asked

to give them my blessing.

Is it collapsed?

- He needs more than that!

But I am.

I relied on him.

You are sorry they have broken.

I know nothing

what happened.

You seem to want a Don.

A he wrong?

It is to know

I'm here.

It seems that I should

horsewhip Mr. Gresham.

Why?

Cynthia told me this morning,

it seems ...

You do not know?

I was not clear,

and she talked a lot.

What?

It seems that he has "taken liberties

with love "my daughter.

One would not Don.

- It's not that I quote Don.

Ms. Slater?

- I'm divorced

And this is not my wife

but Cynthia told me.

I do not know to raise my daughter.

She probably needs a mother.

- A mother or a good spanking.

Give him one or the other.

You are young, you remarry.

Women who attract me

would not be a good influence.

So give him a spanking.

The idea smiled enough.

You know ...

Do you think this is a man

which principles?

Certainly. He is charming.

I was told as charming,

but I do not have principles.

Tell me. Is this a man who ...

- Or do you want to come?

In my place, you would understand.

Cynthia you worried?

I understand. Is she pregnant?

- No, of course!

Why ask that?

That's what worried fathers.

Quite correct.

Mr. Slater, do not worry.

I do not ... I do not know

but I know Don.

He would not do that.

Forget it.

You will stay for dinner with us

and everything will be better after.

If we ask first

Notice of Don?

Why?

It will surely agree.

If I had a pretty circumvented

daughter to make my dinner

and we came to disturb us,

I should be sorry.

You said "circumvented"?

- Yes, but ...

Me, I always say "cerconvenu".

It says "circumvented"?

It seems to me.

See "cerconvenu"

or "circumvented" ...

I do not know.

What silly word!

In any case, the fact is.

You prefer to be alone

both.

Why?

II may be projects

for later.

No. It is agreed.

He vowed not to court me.

He keeps his word.

But after dinner,

it may be more affectionate.

I hope that he will kiss me.

He did not kiss me

from the Empire State Building.

Since its construction?

No. This is the

that we met.

Use another drink.

- I do not say no.

Want

I put the TV?

Colour?

You dream!

It does not yet exist.

So expect.

He falls ropes.

What did you like the car?

A Lincoln. Why?

With the new Cadillac

and all its gadgets,

when it rains,

pressing a button

flooding the wind shield

and the view is clear.

For it rains, I think.

- You have a Cadillac?

Good God, no!

Flirting Vicki has a

and I can use it.

Not the car, the gadget.

- Who is Vicki?

Vicki is my friend.

She'll like it.

She's my age, but she incubates me

like a mother hen.

She is a model.

You're one too?
