One of the earliest rock-and-roll movies, Frank Tashlin's film still holds its own against later, possibly slicker films. Gangster Marty Murdock figures the way to get ahead in society is to turn girlfriend Jerri Jordan into a star. He hires down-and-out agent Tom Miller to make her a sensation but there are two problems: Jordan can't sing and, in fact, just wants top be married to Murdock and become a domestic goddess.
