What happened between Pat Boone and Shirley Jones in 'April Love' is another case of 'he said, she said' that we'll likely never get to the bottom of. What both sides agree on is that it was Boone who refused to kiss Jones. What they disagree on are the reasons why. According to Boone, he'd simply never had a love scene in a movie before, and had never talked to his wife about what he should do if one came up. According to him, there was no 'kiss scene' between him and Jones in 'April Love' until the director tried to include one.
Jones tells a different story. She says the kiss scene was always in the script, and Boone would have known that when he took the part. She also took issue with the fact that Boone kissed his co-star in the very next film he made, which left her feeling personally slighted. His refusal never made sense to her - he tried to tell Jones the same story he'd given to the movie's director, but she couldn't understand how he could reconcile such a position with the fact that he was an actor.
