...market researchers could not improve on. Its humor dashes unpuffing from varnished vulgarity (Jayne is the "titular head" of a fictitious film outfit) to national institutions (Groucho Marx materializes as Jayne's first love). Actress Mansfield, a comic genius whenever she plays Jayne Mansfield, slithers into the skintight role of Jayne Mansfield. If the fun bogs slightly and if some of the gags have family reunions in the end, Director Tashlin may be forgiven for too-muching his good thing.

In a sweater, as everybody can see, she is a standout; "I defy gravity," says Marilyn. In skintight toreador pants, she manages to make the world's most famous come-on out of a simple walkaway, and Marilyn's face, by popular standards, is as spectacular as her figure...
...both Northern and Southern knitting mills, looms are now weaving stretch yarn into men's briefs, women's girdles, T shirts, gloves, bandages, figure-tight bathing suits, swing-free golf shirts, skintight dancer's leotards, baby rompers that will grow with the infant, and long-wearing panties that will fit any girl between two and eight...
