The Beatles[edit]

Should there be a mention of how influential this film was on all four members of the Beatles? It is discussed at relative length in the first 'Anthology' documentary on the group.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.167.224.49 (talk • contribs)

I agree, this movie is discussed and a film clip is shown in The Beatles' Anthology. There should be some mention I think.

Reception

==Reception== Released in late-1956, The Girl Can't Help It drew mostly positive reviews from critics. Labeled by some: "Jayne Mansfield brings to life a new type of Rita Marlowe character", whereas, some called the film: "Fox's spin-off of Marilyn Monroe's movies and not much is here." Nevertheless, the film was hugely popular among audiences and was one of the year's biggest hits and made Mansfield into a mega film star. Today the film holds a legacy mainly with Mansfield fans with its Rock-n-Roll music score, lavish production, and, of course, for the performance by Jayne.

Soundtrack LP?[edit]

It would be useful if the article mentioned if there was a soundtrack LP for this film, and what the track listing was, if there was one. 2601:545:8201:6290:0:0:0:B7E (talk) 15:07, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I did find this track info on a soundtrack LP for the film:

...but I don't know if this dates back to the original 1956-57 period of the film, or was a later release, which could raise the question of whether, for example, the version of "Twenty Flight Rock" was Eddie Cochran's 1956 recording featured in the film, or his 1957 version that was released as a single late that year. 2601:545:8201:6290:0:0:0:B7E (talk) 21:29, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
