Book Vs. Movie: “The Girl Can’t Help It” The Garson Kanin Play Vs. the Jayne Mansfield Movie
The 1956 Technicolor film The Girl Can’t Help It is often remembered for Jayne Mansfield’s curves and Little Richard’s title song, but it originated from Garson Kanin's short story Do Re Mi. This satirical piece critiques the music industry and the manufactured nature of fame, suggesting that anyone can become a star with enough money and manipulation. Directed by Frank Tashlin, the film follows a down-on-his-luck music manager (Tom Ewell) hired by a mobster (Edmond O’Brien) to turn his disinterested girlfriend (Mansfield) into a music sensation. Between the short story and the movie, which did the Margos like better?
