		She was always willing to make appearances and do practically anything for publicity.

		Rock Hunter (Tony Randall) is an adman at a top Madison Avenue agency, where the acknowledgment of power comes when an executive gets a key to the washroom.
		Marlowe, ever looking for publicity, suggests a staged marriage between her and Rock and plans to pass out and be carried off on a stretcher due to the potency of his kisses.
		Rock, however, finally comes to his senses, understanding that he's been a success all along precisely because he's an average guy--the same guy that advertisers always cater to and try to please.

	Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?
		The end result will make you wish lightning had struck more often like this for Tashlin; ROCK HUNTER may be the most beautifully 'opened-up' stage property in film history.
		In "Rock Hunter", this was his second film directing the greatest live-action cartoon of them all, Jayne Mansfield.
		"Rock Hunter" also has a superb supporting cast, which includes the always delightful, buxom Joan Blondell as Rita Marlowe's maid/confidant, Henry Jones as Hunter's fellow advertising executive, and the elegant John Williams as "The big boss".

	Flicks
		Rockland Hunter (Tony Randall) is an advertising copy-writer who is in danger of losing his job unless he finds a way to keep the Stay-Put Lipstick account from leaving the firm.
		In the middle of a public spat with her boyfriend, she agrees to endorse the lipstick if Rock will pretend to be her new flame, thereby making the boyfriend jealous.
		Whether it's Joan Blondell blubbering over half & half (it reminds her of a milkman who was the love of her life), or Randall performing a ballet on the office couch when he finally achieves the status of "executive," Tashlin's unerring instinct for the ridiculous produces riotous pleasure.

		Rock Hunter (Randall) is the advertising copywriter whose job is on the line.
		She agrees and not only is the campaign a massive success, the papers declare the pair a couple - to the vast annoyance of Rock's girlfriend Jenny (Drake).
		Consumerism and corporate ladder-climbing are also sent up and a scene in which Rock receives a key to the company's executive washroom is pleasingly pointed.

		Twentieth Century Fox began to take notice of the blonde dynamo, and while very interested in her possibilities, were wary of her one-woman publicity antics where bad taste was a valuable means to an end.
		Directed by the amazingly imaginative director Frank Tashlin, this film would prove to be a success with it's visually rich humor and rock and roll sound track.
		Jayne hoped this film would establish her as a serious actress, but although it did not have the effect that Jayne had hoped for, it was a change of pace from the stereotypical blonde she personified.

		Tony Randall's first featured role (that's Rockwell P. Hunter, sweetie) remained the permanent high point of both his career and Tashlin's.
		Imperturbable even in self-pity, Rock Hudson seems to transfer the burden of his fatal secret to Randall, who balances Hudson's noble-showdog obtuseness by a sentimental trajectory through denial, despair, degradation, and rage: the suburban neighbor of Dorian Gray.
		Warlock's an engaging curiosity in the less successful crowd.

		The title character's never-ending quest for success – which brings him, as demonstrated in a hilarious montage sequence, international fame as “Lover Doll” – is both celebrated and mocked for the duration of the film: acquiring the Key the to Executive Washroom is tantamount to discovering the Holy Grail.
		The quest for success is at once so necessary and so ridiculous, as all of the film's characters eventually discover.
		He was, after all, on their level as far as success and prolificness.

		'Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?' was one of the first American films to parody the public obsession with stardom, television and the excesses of the advertising industry and corporate culture.
		Light-hearted and up-beat, it did this more cleverly and with more originalty than most American films, then or now.
