Girl Can't Help It

Mansfield's first starring role is as the outrageously voluptuous but tone-deaf girlfriend of a retired racketeer. He hires a talent agent to transform her into a movie star and they fall in love. High-voltage, candy-coloured camp, by comic expert Frank Tashlin, which features some great early rock 'n' roll performances from The Platters, Little Richard, and Fats Domino.
