"The Girl Can't Help It" is a 1956 musical comedy directed by Frank Tashlin and starring Jayne Mansfield and Tom Ewell. The film follows the story of down-and-out gangster Marty "Fats" Murdock, played by Edmond O'Brien, who enlists the help of alcoholic press agent Tom Miller, portrayed by Tom Ewell.

Marty dreams of making his blonde bombshell girlfriend, Jerri Jordan, played by Jayne Mansfield, a successful recording star. Despite her lack of musical talent, Marty believes in her potential. He approaches Tom with a proposition to turn Jerri into a star within a mere six weeks, hoping to restore their financial stability. Intrigued by the challenge, Tom agrees to take on the task.

As the story progresses, Tom tries his best to transform Jerri into a sensation by utilizing his press manipulation skills. However, it becomes increasingly evident that Jerri lacks any true musical ability. Her off-key singing and inability to perform basic dance moves pose significant obstacles.

While navigating the complexities of their professional relationship, a romantic connection begins to develop between Tom and Jerri. Initially, this love story escalates Marty's jealousy and complicates the dynamics within the trio. Despite the challenges they face, Tom and Jerri's bond deepens over time.

As the six-week deadline approaches, Marty's frustration grows as he realizes the harsh reality of Jerri's lack of talent. However, instead of giving up on their dreams, the characters find themselves transforming their initial intentions. Along the way, other reputable musical acts and performers of the time make appearances, including Little Richard, Fats Domino, The Platters, and Eddie Cochran.

Ultimately, the film explores themes of personal growth, redemption, and the transformative power of love. "The Girl Can't Help It" combines elements of comedy, romance, and music in a light-hearted and entertaining manner, creating an enjoyable viewing experience.
