Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter

[nice clean book (review copy with publisher's slip laid in), minimal shelfwear, light age-toning to top of text block; jacket lightly spotted on spine, one short closed tear at bottom of front panel, very shallow insect-nibbling along bottom edges of both flaps and bottom of front panel, a bit of soiling to edges of rear flap]. (3 B&W photographs) The play that made Jayne Mansfield a star. It was also the basis, after a fashion, for the 1957 film of the same name, although in "adapting" the play writer-director Frank Tashlin substantially re-imagined 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 spectacularly well. (A review copy, with the original publisher's slip laid in.)
