I acquired an interest in films where John Banner does walkons, but I digress.  
I watched the film, and have the book on order. In the novel, did Diesel (sp) sleep with Margaret?  
Lying on top of her in the snow may be a way to suggest, in a 1958 film, that he did.  
Ackerman obviously slept with Hope, but the only indication we have is that she becomes pregnant.
