Tashlin's story is a fable of Madison Avenue: Rock Hunter's success in making Stay-Put Lipstick, his ad agency's biggest account, stay put. Hunter's own dream of success: to rise from his untouchable caste as TV commercial writer to possession of his own jewel-encrusted key to the executives' washroom. This glorious consummation (duly sanctified by a heavenly choir on the sound track) is realized through Rita Marlowe (Jayne Mansfield), a squealing movie siren noted for her "oh-so-kissable lips" and her favorite boast ("All my lovers...
