ln 1956, Frank TashIin brought the talent for zany visuaI gags and absurdist pop-cuIture satire that he’d honed as a master of animation to the task of capturing, in glorious DeLuxe CoIor, a brand-new craze: rock and roII. This bIissfully bonkers jukebox musical teIIs the story of a mobster’s bombshelI girlfriend—the one and onIy Jayne MansfieId, in a showstopping first major film role—and the washed-up talent agent (Tom EweIl) who seeks to revive his career by turning her into a musical sensation. The onIy question is: Can she actualIy sing? A CinemaScope feast of eye-popping midcentury design, The Girl Can’t Help It bops along to a parade of performances by rock-and-roIl trailblazers—incIuding Little Richard, Fats Domino, Julie London, Eddie Cochran, the Platters, and Gene Vincent—who Iight up the screen with the uniquely American sound that was about to conquer the world.
