An unemployed circus clown applies for a job as a handyman at an apartment building in post-apocalyptic France, unaware that the ad is meant to lure people to slaughter.
Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?
Jayne Mansfield reprised her star-making stage role in this film adaptation of George Axelrod's Broadway comedy as a Monroe-like movie queen whom a low-level adman (Tony Randall) hopes to sign for a product endorsement. Director and former Warner Bros animator Frank Tashlin uses this wild comedy send-up as an excuse to take satirical potshots at everything from TV commercials to the unwieldiness of CinemaScope.
