About this product

Product Information

One of the earliest rock-and-roll movies, Frank Tashlin's film still holds its own against later, possibly slicker films. Gangster Marty Murdock figures the way to get ahead in society is to turn girlfriend Jerri Jordan into a star. He hires down-and-out agent Tom Miller to make her a sensation but there are two problems: Jordan can't sing and, in fact, just wants top be married to Murdock and become a domestic goddess. As Miller does his best to please both her and his boss, his proximity to Jordan begins to stir mutual emotions... Tashlin plays the film for laughs with Mansfield's collusion - at one point, as she sashays down the street, an ice-cream seller's glasses shatter - while managing to expose as much of her cleavage as the censor would allow. The film is packed with music from Julie London, Fats Domino, Little Richard and Gene Vincent to name but a few of the top 50s stars on board.
