Good beginning
18 April 2001
Ad man Tony Randall manages to get a big sex symbol Rita Marlowe (Jayne Mansfield) to push a lipstick...but things get out of hand. She pretends he's her boyfriend and a great lover and his life is tuned upside down.

A satire on the TV ad industry. It starts off well with an uproarious bunch of parodies of TV ads and continues strong for about half an hour. Then the jokes and story get repetitious (and boring). The same targets are attacked again and again. Also the satire itself is extremely dated constantly referencing then topical topics and characters. And Mansfield's squealing grates on ones nerves (and ears) after 20 times! The acting is good (even Mansfield!) and it's colorful and well-directed...but it's too dated and there isn't enough story or jokes for 90 minutes.
