30 Beautiful Portrait Photos of Jayne Mansfield While Filming Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter
Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter is a 1957 American satirical comedy film starring Jayne Mansfield and Tony Randall, with Betsy Drake, Joan Blondell, John Williams, Henry Jones, Lili Gentle, and Mickey Hargitay, and with a cameo by Groucho Marx. The film is a satire on popular fan culture, Hollywood hype, and the advertising industry, which was making millions of dollars off the growing revenue from television ads. It also takes aim at television and the reduction it caused to the size of movie theater audiences in the 1950s. The film was also known as Oh For a Man in the United Kingdom. Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter was produced and directed by Frank Tashlin, who also wrote the largely original screenplay, using little more than the title and the character of Rita Marlowe from the successful Broadway play Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter by George Axelrod. The play had run from 1955 to 1956 and also starred Jayne Mansfield as Rita.
