...salesman named Harry (Glenn Ford). Evie looks at him and feels reckless. He looks at her and decides that she is nothing to write home about. Besides, he already has more than one postmistress. Engaged to a widow in Altoona (Angela Lansbury), he has just ended an affair with Artist Patricia Barry, and is warmly entreating the blonde (Barbara Nichols) at the hotel newsstand to be his "secret pal" for the night.
