Storyline
In this spoof of the TV advertising industry, Rockwell Hunter is the low man on the totem pole at the advertising company where he works. That is, until he finds the perfect spokes model for Stay-Put lipstick, the famous actress with the oh-so-kissable lips, Rita Marlowe. Unfortunately, in exchange, Rock has to act publicly as Rita's "Loverdoll", and Rock's fiancée Jenny isn't too happy about it either. Written by Syam Gadde <gadde@cs.duke.edu>

What's not to love about this movie? I am completely in love with this hysterical movie. No one else in the universe could do the things Jayne Mansfield gets away with; Tony Randall is great, so is Joan Blondell and Henry Jones. You'll never do chest exercises after seeing this movie!
