Delightful biopic is full of zippy dance numbers

Delightful biopic is full of zippy dance numbers, with lively look at life of actor-dancer.

This is a fairly entertaining biopic. Jayne Mansfield

This is a fairly entertaining biopic. Jayne Mansfield steals the show in her role as a glamorous starlet based on Betty Grable. My only complaint is that she deserved more screen time!

This is an odd biopic. It was made

This is an odd biopic. It was made well before George Raft passed away, and he attacked the film when it was released as being pure fiction. That being ssaid, it does give us a nice performance by Ray Danton and does touch on the not so nice side of raft. But, the film is odd and feels thrown together...and for what reason? It fails to answer the question as to why Raft needed a biopic done on him in the first place.
