Synopsis: 

  

A nostalgic memory play, PROPOSALS recalls one idyllic afternoon in the summer of 1953: the last time the Hines family gathers at its retreat in the Poconos. Clemma, the family's housekeeper (and the story's narrator), dreads a visit form her husband who deserted her years before. Burt Hines, a recovering workaholic convalescing from a second heart attack, looks forward to the arrival of his ex-wife whom he still loves. Burt's daughter, Josie, has just broken her engagement to Ken, an intense Harvard law student, and she yearns for his buddy, Ray, with whom she had a brief affair. A note of hilarity is added to the gathering when Ray shows up with a striking but dim-witted model on his arm, and a young Miami gangster with a gift for malapropisms.
