Mary dates a breathtakingly handsome guy who draws plenty of awed attention (and reactions) from the regular characters. However Mary soons realises they have nothing in common and the relationship is a little dull - except for the physical attraction.
I don't usually love the 'dating' episodes, but this one leaves out the mawkishness and is filled with great comedy and good lines.
Mary's beau Paul is played by the striking Robert Wolders who ended is acting career in 1975 and had long running relationships with Merle Oberon, then Audrey Hepburn, then Shirlee Fonda.
Phyllis, Bess, Sue Ann and Georgette all appear. Phyllis and Bess are seen only in Mary's apartment and don't share scenes with the other regulars.
