This has got to have the best soundtrack from any film ever made. Little Richard, Fats Domino, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochrane and Julie London all appear as themselves and perform a number. The poster claimed “you’ll Shake, Rattle ‘n’ Roll with laughter” – well, you might, but it’s gloriously, fantastically fifties. Jayne Mansfield’s more preoccupied with shopping for pyjamas for her seven brothers and cooking a good souffle than producing a hit record. It’s enough to make Phil Silvers’ milk boil over.
