Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?

Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957) starring Jayne Mansfield, Tony Randall, Betsy Drake, Joan Blondell. Directed by Frank Tashlin. A convincing case can be made that this is a clever satire of 1950s morals, television, sex and business. In fact that seems to be the prevailing opinion. However, I can't help but treat it as a viewing experience, and from that angle I find it highly lacking. It's a silly movie, and Mansfield is supremely irritating with her constant squealing. I really just didn't enjoy it, although I found it memorable. (Subtitles in English are offered, as are closed captions.) Grade: C
