The Moon is Blue

The result of this casual meeting is that she goes to his apartment, where she becomes embroiled in a whole series of amusing situations

He has invited her out to dinner, but instead she determines to cook the meal for him

And the two get along swimmingly until it turns out that Don has until the day before been more or less satisfactorily engaged to the daughter of his friend and neighbor, David Slater

Slater arrives at Don's apartment, is attracted to Patty, and when he gets too friendly Don shows unmistakable signs of purely masculine jealousy

The situation becomes increasingly involved, reaching a climax when Patty's father, an irate and Puritanical policeman, turns up and, suspecting the worst, gives Don a black eye

Ultimately, however, it turns out that Don is not the wolf that Patty's father imagined, and at the very end, when the scene reverts to the top of the Empire State Building, all ends satisfactorily

Had an immensely successful run on Broadway and the road
