Basis--after a fashion--for the 1957 film of the same name, although writer-director Frank Tashlin didn't so much "adapt" the play as completely re-imagine it, transmuting Axelrod's savage satire on Hollywood into a no-holds-barred swipe at TV and ad agencies. Miss Mansfield's charms, however, survived the transition to film quite nicely. Jayne Mansfield created her signature role of sexy blonde bombshell Rita Marlowe in the Broadway debut opposite Walter Matthau and Orson Bean, and then repeated her success in the acclaimed film adaptation directed by Frank Tashlin and co-starring Tony Randall..
