Mansfield is sensational as moll Jerri Jordan to Edmond O'Brien's Marty Murdock, the mobster determined to make her a singing star. The trouble begins when Murdock hires talent agent Tom Miller (Tom Ewell) to groom her: Miller quickly realizes that she can't sing a note...AND that he's completely in love with her! (official distributor synopsis)

My first encounter with Jayne Mansfield, the stunning platinum blonde, whom I might even fall in love with a bit more than Marilyn. She's energetic, entertaining, a bit silly, and yet she has something a little extra in her. But the whole film is like that. It’s simply a crazy comedy - well not entirely in the style of "crazy" - but definitely close to it because of the characters. The Technicolor colors are just a pleasant addition to this ride, which is hyped up mainly by its fantastic rock 'n' roll.
