Sparkling, risqué and delightful, WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER? is a bright, knowing satire of Madison Avenue, television and the cult of the movie star! Tony Randall plays Rockwell P. Hunter, an adman trying to claw his way to the top. Jayne Mansfield plays Rita Marlowe, an overly glamorous movie star. Amid a flurry of wonderful sight gags, parodies of television commercials and shows, the creative process and success, they become a delightful duo as the glamour queen who needs a nerd to make her boyfriend jealous and a nerd who needs something to propel him one more rung up the corporate ladder of his stalled career.
