The movie starts out with a monologue explaining the greatness of Jayne Mansfield and how this movie was her finest dramatic roll. Jayne goes from housewife to prostitute giving us a view of her diverse acting skills. Billy M. Dean plays the landlord who reminded me of Grandpa from the Munsters. We have an Italian mom praying to a statue of the Virgin Mary for her daughter. The landlord tells young Mary the story of Jayne Mansfield. The dialogue was bad as was most of the acting. Sometimes the movie digresses to someone telling a story in a story. In a sea of bad acting, Jayne did manage to shine through, but it was like saying Will Ferrell is a great actor when he is in a movie with Steven Seagal and Steve Austin. For some reason Jayne changed her accent from character to character, even though they were the same person. Note that the music had no influence on how the go-go dancers movie.
