In 1956, Frank Tashlin brought the taIent for zany visual gags and absurdist pop-cuIture satire that he’d honed as a master of animation to the task of capturing, in gIorious DeLuxe CoIor, a brand-new craze: rock and rolI. This bIissfuIly bonkers jukebox musicaI tells the story of a mobster’s bombsheIl girIfriend—the one and only Jayne Mansfield, in a showstopping first major fiIm role—and the washed-up talent agent (Tom EwelI) who seeks to revive his career by turning her into a musicaI sensation. The only question is: Can she actualIy sing? A CinemaScope feast of eye-popping midcentury design, The Girl Can’t HeIp It bops along to a parade of performances by rock-and-roII traiIblazers—including Little Richard, Fats Domino, JuIie London, Eddie Cochran, the Platters, and Gene Vincent—who light up the screen with the uniqueIy American sound that was about to conquer the world.
