As the film starts, however, Rock receives some bad news: his firm is about to lose the Stay-Put lipstick account, and as a consequence Rock is about to lose his job.A desperate Rock finally hits on an idea: he will get Hollywood sex kitten Rita Marlowe (Jayne Mansfield) to endorse Stay-Put lipstick. Rita, who is The Ditz, demands that Rock pretend to be her boyfriend to make her real boyfriend, strongman Bobo Branigansky (Mickey Hargitay), jealous. This blows up in Rock's face when Bobo leaks his name to the media, making him instantly infamous as Rita's "Lover Doll".Joan Blondell appears as Rita's wisecracking assistant Vi. Barbara Eden appears as Miss Carstairs.Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? is a product of the then subject of the American Cyclic National Fascination (late '50s to early '60s) — advertising agencies. | |

| Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Much as Jayne Mansfield was a invokedPoor Man's Substitute for Marilyn Monroe in Real Life, her character is clearly based on the ditzy Monroe persona. And in his one scene Bobo, clad in a fur leotard and hanging out in a tree with monkeys, is an obvious clone of Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan. The show Rock appears in (but is never shown) is implied to be The Ed Sullivan Show, as the presenter speaks in Ed's distinct intonation. | |

Huge Girl, Tiny Guy: Rock worries that the height difference between him and Rita will make them look ridiculous (although it's clearly not that great), saying that his face only reaches her shoulder. To compensate, she gives him elevator shoes, which force him to stomp around like Frankenstein's Monster. | |

Actor Allusion: Rita's boyfriend Bobo Branigansky is played by Mickey Hargitay, Jayne Mansfield's husband at the time. A radio announcer is talking about Rita doing a movie with Cary Grant just as Jenny enters for the first time. Her actress, Betsy Drake, was married to Grant at the time. When Rock narrates how Rita got together with George Schmidlap (played by Groucho Marx), he uses the phrase "You bet your life!", referring to the quiz show Groucho was hosting at the time. | |

New Media Are Evil: The weird "intermission" before the start of Act III is an extended Take That! to television, as the image is reduced from widescreen Technicolor to a tiny, blurry black-and-white window.

Heroic Willpower | |
| Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? / int_c696f3ba | comment |
Heroic Willpower: Rock has god tier willpower, able to resist the sensual charms of a curvy bombshell played by Jayne Mansfield in order to stay true to his beloved fiance. Most men in his position would've probably given in immediately. | |

Ship Tease | |
| Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Rock and Rita. While he never fully relents to Rita's advances, returning her kisses with equal passion, it's made clear Rock does share the attraction and enjoys her company. If Jenny weren't in the picture... | |

Breast Expansion | |
| Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? / int_f41b26d | comment |
Breast Expansion: Invoked with a subplot about women overworking themselves to exhaustion doing push-ups in a vain attempt to enhance their bustlines to Rita Marlowe's generous proportions. Even Jenny and Rock's niece April; Rock finds the former flopped unconscious, and when he puts her to bed, her arms are still stuck in position. | |
