From my book, Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star. --
Another
mark of a spirited girl under the guise of prim librarian, is the scene when,
parking the town “bookmobile” van by a secluded stream tucked into a wooded
area, Ann takes a break from her duties on this hot summer day to strip and
take a swim. Of course, it isn’t long
before the visitor from New York [Mark Stevens], with his fishing tackle, strolls by and
notices the pile of women’s garments on the rock, topped by the hat he
purchased. Bemused, he sits down at her
swimming hole to fish, and she is aghast, ordering him away. He does not ogle her, or threaten to take her
clothes, or any of the usual pranks of having the upper hand in this
situation. He teases her only a moment,
then leaves with, “I’ll leave you with the hope that I’ll be seeing more of
you.”
