Frank Tashlin directed this effort starring Tony Randall as Rockwell Hunter, a young man on the rise in an advertising agency.
He needs to come up with a new advertising campaign for "Stay Put Lipstick" or he will lose his job. He comes up with the idea to get sexy movie star Rita Marlowe (Jayne Mansfield) to endorse the product, and this leads to complications he can't even imagine.
The idea is way more of a success than anyone could foresee, but it might also cost him his girlfriend and a normal life. There are plenty of laughs and sharp satire at the TV industry in this brilliant film.
Jayne Mansfield will always be a favorite of mine and I can never get enough of her. Director Tashlin also helmed Mansfield's all time best film entitled "The Girl Can't Help It".
I bought this Blu-ray after I found out the Twilight Time was going out of business and I'm glad I did. It had been years since I last saw it, and it has lost none of it's fun for me to watch.
I highly recommend this film and if you're a fan I urge you to get this release before it goes out of print for a long time,. Check it out. I didn't give away too much of the plot because this is a film I believe must be seen to be appreciated.
