Drunken down on his luck talent agent Ewell is hired by a once top gangster O'Brien to make his girlfriend, Mansfield into a star in 6 weeks.
Often hilarious comedy looking at the ups and down of getting no talent Mansfield to the top, which is complicated by the affection between Ewell and Mansfield and the highly suspicious, bad tempered O'Brien. Ewell is terrific in the lead and Mansfield impresses on the comedy front, but O'Brien walks away with the film - so funny and so different from his usual roles. Fine witty support as well from Henry Jones as O'Brien's loyalish assistant - and then of course there is all that wonderful music.
