just a romantic interest thrown in to round out (give some stability to?) Sinatra's character.To me, it's a bit of a loose end, but who cares?--the film is otherwise so well done, so head-and-shoulders about all the superficial crap of the '60s, it doesn't matter.
And just for the record, I'm not going anywhere near the "new" version, despite some interesting casting choices (Washington, Streep). If there's any film that doesn't need to be re-made, it's this one.
