THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT
‘THE QUINTESSENTIAL 50's ROCK FILM’ - Time Out
JAYNE MANSFIELD • TOM EWELL
EDMOND O'BRIEN
The classic ‘rock and roll’ film of the 50’s and the Jayne Mansfield movie. Legendary moments include her hot strut down the street to Little Richard’s title song, leaving ice blocks melting and milk bottles bubbling over.
Around a simple comic plot - gangster hires alcoholic press agent to make a singing star out of his incredibly voluptuous but tone-deaf girlfriend – director Frank Tashlin creates a feast for eyes and ears in ‘the grandeur of CinemaScope’ and glorious De Luxe colour.
Among the classic musical highlights are Eddie Cochran’s ‘Twenty Flight Rock’, Gene Vincent’s ‘Be Bop A Lula’, a very sultry Julie London singing ‘Cry Me A River’ and an electric performance by Little Richard at his peak.
