Rating:  - fine, brilliant comedy with great music, too !!!
Many comedies purport to have lots of laughs; but The Girl Can't Help It is truly hilarious. Sure, there are innuendos about women's anatomy that a few stuffed shirts still won't like today; but I thought it was all very well done. The action moves along at a great pace; the casting is excellent; and the acting is very convincing. Moreover, the numerous musical numbers are all first rate; and this impresses me greatly.
The action begins with Marty "Fats" Murdock wants to marry his beautiful ... Read More
Rating:  - THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT features... and is... one huge bust.
To say 1956's THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT is a funny movie is a lie. It's not. Maybe it was once, but it's not now. No, TGCHI is a labored catastrophe, lost in its own vision of glee. It's cartoon characters (more on this coming up soon) marooned in an Acme world. The twists and ribbon'n'bows at the end of the movie are all forced and silly.
And it's no wonder, as THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT was written and directed by Frank Tashlin (who did tons of great animation for Warners and Disney). But unfortunately, ... Read More
Rating:  - She puts the HOUR in hour-glass!
Reportedly, Jayne Mansfield's measurements were 40-18-35. Tell that to anyone, and they won't believe it because that sounds so unreal. Well, after seeing Jayne in that red dress, they'll believe!
Jayne is simply wonderful. Her known off-screen spirit and likeability (the stories told about her are great! When she starred in the broadway version of "Rock Hunter", she would remain into the wee hours of the night until every fan's autograph was signed; when tour busses approached her home, she would ...

Rating: - Easy to see why Jayne's daughter is an Emmy winner.
Ignore the glitz, Jayne Mansfield like Marilyn Monroe beneath the hype is a great actress. Fun to watch. And The Girl Can't Help It is one of the best rock 'n roll movies of the fifties. I first saw this film fifty years ago and then just the other night. My wife and I loved it. Buyer's tip. It is much much cheaper to buy the collection set that has this film, Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter, and The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw. It is over priced to buy it as a single.
Rating: - fantastic!!
an absolute time capsule of 1950s rock and roll. some of the best rock of the day. unfortunatley the artists dont get to perform the entire songs, but they are still great. and what can be said about jayne mansfield? she is stunning! seeing her in that red gown is reason enough to buy this movie. the supporting players are great. (note: juanita moore, annie johnson from lana turners "imitation of life" appears as the maid, later nominated for an acadamy award in 1959). this movie is a real treasure.
