Comment/Synopsis

A hapless entertainment agent is given the job of making a singing star out of the girl friend of a gangster who cannot sing. Forget the non-existent plot and enjoy Jayne Mansfield's performance and that of the real Rock and Roll musicians. This is an early example of a film about the way to artificially create a pop star.
