“Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?” won’t easily remain on the tips of old-movie mavens’ tongues, but I’ve always remembered the film title because it was unusual. The cast had starring roles from Jayne Mansfield and Tony Randall, a duo that never made it like Rock Hudson and Doris Day did. It might, however, have been Ms. Mansfield’s shining moment in film.
It was a 1957 cinematic satire on the advertising industry, TV and Hollywood. And the only reason why I bring it up is it makes me think of Portland’s growing sway as a power-house bagel community. Will Success Spoil our Fine Madness for Bagels? Now with the arrival—long awaited (thanks to Byzantine Portland permitting process) — Forage Market bagels are about the best to hit our pint-size city.
