Need to find an iconic movie scene

I saw some cool fan art online today that substituted Daryl and Carol from The Walking Dead for what I think are two movie characters - it has a woman lying back on the city steps of what is likely her home, and the guy is standing up and approaching her, probably flirting.

I'm pretty sure it's from a movie, but I can't think of which movie? West Side Story came to mind, but I'm not sure.

I'd be very happy if I could find an image of the original scene

and then a movie. William Holden, Kim Novak, Ros Russel,
Susan Strasburg and Cliff Robertson.

There is a scene in which Holden's character encounters Novak's character sitting on a park bench. Popped into my mind immediately

Great movie and a great play to read, too.

The great (and very stable genius) Steve Allen wrote the lyrics to the main theme known as "Moonglow"
