Jayne Mansfield Collection (DVD, 2006, 3-Disc Set)
THE GIRL CAN’T HELP IT: Mansfield’s first starring role is as the outrageously voluptuous but tone-deaf girlfriend of a retired racketeer. He hires a talent agent to transform her into a movie star and they fall in love. High-voltage, candy-colored camp, by comic maven Tashlin, which features some great early rock-and-roll performances from the Platters, Little Richard, and Fats Domino.
WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER?: This adaptation of George Axelrod’s successful Broadway play takes satiric aim at the television industry with its tale of an ad copywriter who gets in over his head while trying to save the “Stay-Put Lipstick” account. The glamorous star he wants to endorse the product will only agree if he helps her make her boyfriend jealous.
THE SHERIFF OF FRACTURED JAW: Englishman Jonathan Tibbs (Kenneth More) travels to the unruly Old West town of Fractured Jaw, attempting to expand the fortunes of his uncle’s company. By a series of mishaps he becomes an accidental hero, and the townspeople make him their sheriff. Jayne Mansfield plays the saloon girl, Kate, who provides counsel for the unwitting authority.
