Peter proceeds to go down to sea level to swim, pitching a tent within sight of Ann waiting.

Eventually Ann joins him in the surf, introducing herself as “Penelope Potter.” They swim, fish, discuss life (Peter is 22), drink ouzo, become increasingly attracted, and ultimately have sex.

The next morning, she flags down a ride on a boat with fishermen, and leaves Peter, still asleep, with a farewell kiss.

At 22, Peter works as director of labor relations, while his father remains aloof from the company business.

Peter learns that Ann remains on friendly terms with Trina’s father, Billy Boylan, who she divorced because of his irresponsibility, and who frequently relies on his ex-wife for loans.

JD appears and takes Ann, Trina, Peter, and Billy to dinner; all enjoy a cordial evening.

Over the next few weeks, Peter refuses to take no for an answer, convincing Ann to date to determine their compatibility.

Latham suggests that Peter eventually will tire of an older wife and seek women his own age.

When Peter arrives at the originally appointed time, his father’s deception becomes clear when Ann expresses doubts about their hasty marriage plans.

Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Joanne Woodward, Doris Day, Glenda Jackson, Shirley MacLaine, and Sophia Loren were all considered for the role of Ann Stanley before the original director (William Wyler) bowed out of the production.

[citation needed] On the Broadway stage in 1968, the role was originated by Julie Harris, who won a Tony Award for her performance.
