Rockwell P. Hunter (Tony Randall) is a lowly advertising writer at the La Salle agency. His teenage niece April lives with him. He needs money to marry his secretary Jenny Wells. When the agency is in danger of losing its biggest account, Rockwell suggests pairing up the lipstick company with movie star Rita Marlowe (Jayne Mansfield). This leads to misunderstandings and lots of screwball comedy potential. Rockwell becomes Rita's lover doll.
It's almost funny. It takes almost thirty minutes before Randall and Mansfield meet up. Mansfield is basically a discount Monroe. She's trying hard to be dumber without being that funny. She's a better pinup than an actress. It's a satire taking a few jabs at the advertising world and the celebrity world. It's very 50's. I understand the comedy but I rarely laughed.
