The Girl Can't Help It (Criterion Collection) (DVD)

Mob boss Fats Murdock (Edmond O'Brien) leaned on press agent Tom Miller (Tom Ewell) to ignite the pop singing career of his reluctant arm candy Jerri Jordan (Jayne Mansfield), but Fats won't be pleased when the campaign strikes romantic sparks instead. Mansfield's considerable assets combined with a remarkable collection of rock performances to render Frank Tashlin's star-making satire a classic; with appearances from Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Fats Domino, many others. 99 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
