Two Starring Jayne Mansfield
A herald of America’s sexual revolution, Jayne Mansfield had a brief but sensational career as one of the original blonde bombshells of the 1950s, with her penchant for outrageous publicity stunts sometimes overshadowing her formidable talent. Her magnetic presence and natural charm light up two of her finest films: Frank Tashlin’s cartoon-crazy (bordering on the avant-garde) advertising satire Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? and the torrid John Steinbeck adaptation The Wayward Bus , which gave Mansfield a rare chance to display her dramatic prowess.
