The classic `rock and roll' film of the 50's and the Jayne Mansfield movie, featuring her legendary strut down the street to Little Richard's title song while holding a pair of strategically placed milk bottles, melting ice and shattering glasses. 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.
