PATERNITY'S story line is an intriguing one--Reynolds plays Buddy Evans, the manager of Madison Square Garden and the most eligible bachelor in all of New York, according to one of his former flingees. Wine and women flow with his every move, his employees click their heels at his snap of a finger and businessmen who try to deal with him are left on the sidelines. He even gets to play basketball with his lawyer's kid on the Garden floor. But something is missing from Buddy the bon vivant's life...

Mae (Betty Garrett) has been an offstage mother to her orchestra conductor son since he first brandished a baton. That he is 40 and a bachelor mortifies her, but not as much as having blurted out on a TV interview that he was not a homosexual...
