Jayne Mansfield stars as an archetypal 'dumb blonde' in the very first Technicolour rock'n'roll musical.
Her Mafia lover (Edmond O'Brien) is determined that she should secure pop stardom, despite her lack of any discernible talent. To this end he entrusts her into the care of a down-on-his-luck agent (Tom Ewell), who strives to make her record a hit, even though she only strikes one (piercing) note during the whole song. This satire on the music biz features legendary appearances from the likes of Fats Domino, Gene Vincent and Little Richard.
The film is part of year long celebration the jukebox and teen culture in the 1950s and 60s. The screening of The Girl Can’t Help It, featuring music from the period and a splash of jukeboxes, is one of a series of free and fun events to reveal how the distinctive British jukebox was created on the seaside coast of Morecambe, Blackpool and Lytham St Annes.
